A photograph of an outdoor ritual under green trees. A man with long dark hair and a white sacred ash mark on his forehead wears an orange draped garment with a gold border and gold necklace, and applies a thick yellow-orange paste to a dark stone statue of Ganesha with a trunk and crown. Behind him a second man in orange holds a small metal bowl, and at left a man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands nearby. A golden canopy edge is visible at top right.
