Outdoors in a dusty courtyard, a man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform with eyes closed, wearing a long dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead. A small brass vessel with a spout sits in front of him. Behind him, two men in white kurtas with yellow shawls sit with hands folded in prayer, and a third seated man in white with a yellow shawl is partly visible. Grey stone deity murtis and a potted shrub stand against a white wall with a red doorway, and a saffron cloth hangs from a rack at right. Ash or burnt residue lies on the ground around them.
