Outdoor ritual at a water tank beside a stone wall. In the foreground a man in an orange robe stands with palms pressed together, his back partly to the camera. Beside him another person in orange with a shaved-looking head and a red tilak holds palms together. Seated on a striped rug in front, a woman in a magenta sari and a bald-headed person in white hold small offering plates. Behind them rows of seated devotees in white clothes and rudraksha malas, many with hands folded. A multicoloured umbrella with tassels shades an orange-draped seat with a microphone at right, and a man in white sits beside it. A kalasha-like vessel and water bottle are visible near the seat.
