Outdoor ritual under trees at a rocky mound shrine decorated with garlands of yellow and red flowers. A large deity murti with white and gold ornaments stands at left, and a white-clad figure in a white cloth is seated before the shrine with pink and white flowers. A man at right, with long dark hair and a gold-bordered white dhoti and shawl, holds a brass vessel and performs an offering with smoke rising, standing before a small table with a white cloth and oil lamps. Many people in white and orange clothes stand with hands folded in prayer, and a videographer with a camera on a tripod stands among them. A man in an orange shawl stands near the center.
