Wide photo of an evening outdoor ceremony at a tiered stone-and-water amphitheatre. A large ornate decorated stage with a multicoloured canopy and a golden structure stands at left, while a central sunken pool holds a lit raised platform where priests in white dhotis and orange-clad figures perform rites around brass oil lamps and a kalasha. Seated devotees fill the stepped terraces on both sides, many in white and colourful saris, and a bald man in the lower left foreground faces the stage. Red flags line the right edge and a camera on a tripod stands near the water.
