Outdoor evening ritual at dusk with palm trees and a green hedge behind. A young priest in a tall ornate golden-patterned crown and bare upper body wears beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and bangles. He holds a small lit oil lamp (diya) in both hands above a woven wicker basket. Beside him a large copper fire bowl on a tripod stand burns with a tall flame, wrapped with marigold garlands and a red flower band. A crowd of onlookers stands in the background.
