Photograph of a temple ritual seen from behind: a man with long dreadlocked black hair, wearing a maroon dhoti and a garland-wrapped head ornament, stands at the front of a richly decorated deity shrine. Bands of yellow, red, white and green flowers hang heavily across the golden peetha and surrounding frame. Two gilded deity murtis in green and purple silk sit behind the garlands, with a small brass peetha holding a pink and white garlanded murti in front. A teal striped cloth and a brass lamp rest at the lower right and left foreground, with flower offerings on the floor. The scene reads as an abhishekam or puja at a temple shrine.
