Outdoor ritual at an ashram courtyard with palm trees and orange-walled buildings. A standing priest in a white dhoti with gold borders and a gold-bordered white shawl, wearing a gold necklace, holds a sheet of paper and reads or chants from it beside a square fire pit on a white-draped platform. Brass oil lamps, a blue kalasha pot with a red flower garland, a plate of fruit, and small offerings sit around the pit. Behind him stand a red-and-gold ratha/chariot frame and a row of small stone statues. Hanging orange cloth and a red circular frame appear overhead.
