A photograph of a person in an orange sannyasi-style outfit bending over a steel vessel marked A15, pouring water from a copper pot into it on a wet concrete floor. A small gold-coloured deity murti stands beside the vessel against a plain wall, with a window and a blue cloth at the left edge. The person has hair tied back and is barefoot. Timestamped text in the lower right gives a Kothainatchiarpuram Road, Pudupalaiyam, Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu location, with a note about items received from AK to RJP. The page refers to a Rajapalayam ritual, but the image shows only a water-pouring scene, so no specific ritual is established.
