Outdoors on bare red earth, a shirtless man in a white dhoti kneels and offers a small brass plate of lamps and offerings over a flower-covered burial mound. Behind him, a white-clad elder stands with hands folded in prayer, and another man in white raises folded hands beside a red umbrella. On the left, several men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and a long trident stand beside red and blue decorated umbrellas. A small child in a blue and yellow outfit joins hands at the front. A man in a brown robe with long hair also stands with palms pressed together. A stone structure and green trees sit in the background, with marigold garlands visible on the mound.
