Outdoor ritual under a white canopy with orange and multicolour bunting strung along its poles. A fire burns on a tray beside a banana-leaf plant, with a brass vessel and lamps on the ground. Several men in white dhotis with gold-bordered cloth and beaded necklaces stand and sit around the fire, one holding a small object near it. A seated woman in white rings a brass bell while others in white saris sit at long metal tables among rows of devotees. A standing man in an orange-saffron shawl and white dhoti with a beaded necklace stands at the centre, with a cameraman filming from behind a tripod. A green-and-orange cloth covers a platform at the right edge. Roughly 40 to 60 people are visible, mostly seated.
