Outdoor photograph of a ritual celebration in an open dirt courtyard with red-painted poles and a stone building behind. In the centre, a barefoot man in a black outfit leaps and swings his arms while people around him pour liquid from golden pots and vessels, sending spray through the air. Devotees in saffron and orange robes, a woman in an orange sari, and a woman in red stand at the front with brass pots. Behind them a row of onlookers in white, teal and striped clothes watches, some with raised hands. A gold-and-red throne with a canopy of coloured fabric sits at the back right beside a draped table. Large metal drums stand at the lower right, and green trees fill the background.
