Outdoor homa or yagna ceremony in front of an orange-walled building with a signboard reading Sri Anandeshwara Devasthana. Several priests in white dhotis with red borders and gold necklaces sit cross-legged on an orange cloth around a fire pit, one stirring with a ladle while another offers into the fire. Trays of bananas, red flowers, and small bowls of offerings lie in front. On a red and gold throne under a multicolored canopy sits a figure in orange-red robes with a flower garland and rudraksha-style beads; attendants in white and yellow sashes hold ceremonial fans and parasols beside him. Coconut palms and banana plants surround the scene. Several people are visible in the crowd behind.
