Outdoor temple ritual with a seated priest bare-chested with a white cloth over his shoulder, a red sacred thread and beaded necklaces, tending a fire pit of burning wood and offerings, with a brass bowl and a vessel of white sweets nearby. Around him are standing people: a man in a green and white dhoti holding a small brass pot, a man in a saffron dhoti with a folded hand gesture, a woman in saffron robes with a garland, and an older bald man in saffron dhoti and beaded malas with hands folded in prayer. Musicians with horns play nearby, a dhoti-clad man in white and others stand by. Behind them are colourful temple shrines, a painted lion statue, banana plants, marigold garlands and a canopy. Floral offerings and oil lamps are arranged on the left.
