Outdoor ritual at a stone-paved ground where a woman in a red-orange sari with a floral garland kneels and pours liquid from a vessel onto a sand-covered square strewn with pink and white petals. A second devotee in orange robes bends beside her holding a brass plate of flowers. Behind them, a standing row of orange-robed young men, including one holding a long pole, and a large crowd of white-clad men and women with garlands watch with folded hands. Brass lamps and vessels sit on the ground. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.
