An outdoor ritual under a open-sided tent with grey-white and red draped valances. Many men in white dhotis and shirts sit on mats in rows, facing a central altar. A priest in white with a yellow sash stands at the altar, holding a lit lamp. In front of the altar is a tall pyramid of small round offerings heaped in tiers. Behind it stands an orange-painted vehicle with a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure displayed on its front. Smaller fire pits with flames burn at the sides, and trays of offerings and dry sticks sit on the ground. A woman in a red sari stands at the far left edge. This appears to be a homa-style fire ritual with pada puja-type offerings in an open yard.
