Night outdoor ceremony on a lawn in front of a white multi-storey hotel with balconies and palm trees. Seated at left on a yellow mat, a man in red-orange robes and a red headpiece with hands folded in front of a golden-framed seat and a yellow ceremonial parasol. A standing priest in orange-red wrap and dhoti stands at a table draped in purple cloth holding offerings in small pots and brass items. A large seated audience in white clothes faces the ceremony on the grass. Appearance is insufficient to confirm the seated man's identity; a page caption ties him to a person but the cues are limited to a red headpiece and robes.
