Outdoor photo of a ritual scene near a tall banana stalk heavy with green bananas, under a red and tasselled canopy. A central figure in a bright orange turban, orange sleeveless wrap and orange dhoti, with a long rudraksha mala, performs an action with raised arm, while coconuts rest on a silver tray held by a man in white. Around them a crowd of men in white kurtas and dhotis, one wearing a yellow shawl and another a rudraksha mala, stands closely. Palm trees, a distant hill and orange flags appear in the background, and red flower petals lie on the ground at lower left. Whether the central figure is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
