Three people sit on a striped floor mat in a ritual setting, mixing a thick golden paste from a large silver bowl. A woman on the left in a rust-red sari with a rudraksha-bead necklace holds a handful of the paste. A young woman in the centre wears a white and gold-bordered sari, a white head covering, orange beaded necklaces and a gold pendant. A bare-chested man on the right in white dhoti holds out cupped hands to receive the paste. Behind them, saffron-clad figures stand near camera tripods and a red-draped table.
