Outdoor ritual on a sandy ground under a red and gold canopy with tasselled fringe. A man seated on a white-draped chair wears orange robes, a white flower garland, and long swept-back hair; he holds a silver bowl with yellow flowers and extends his hand toward a woman in white who kneels before him. Behind him, a man in orange shawl and a man in white stand near a small electric fan. A silver lamp stand and a green-draped seat occupy the foreground, with yellow and white flowers and a small kalasha-like vessel on a pink mat. A woman in white sits at the right by a microphone stand, and mounds of sand and a plastic water bottle appear nearby.
