Night photograph of a ritual at an outdoor shrine beneath a large banyan tree. In the foreground, a bare-chested man with a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and a saffron head wrap kneels beside a stone linga, pressing both hands onto it while looking upward. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and shirts stand in a row; one in a blue turban holds a small vessel, another in a brown vest raises an object, and an older man in white holds a small item to his mouth. A man in a dark jacket stands at left. Behind the group, more men in white move among brass vessels, and a red-clad figure appears at the right edge near a dark stone murti. Dark stone blocks rimmed with water surround the kneeling figure. Overlay text in the image reads a copyright notice.
