A long white-draped table under a thatched shelter holds offerings for a ritual: a silver kalasha-style vessel with marigold garlands, bananas, oranges, mangoes, red flowers, fruit trays and sweets on plates, and a brass lamp at the right edge. Four men stand behind the table in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, one with a bare shaved head. To their left a priest in white dhoti and a man in a cream shawl stand near a robed attendant with a crossbody bag. Several men in white kurtas and dhotis stand further back, and a man at the far right in white holds a lamp-like tray. Sandy ground surrounds the scene.
