A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a temple courtyard. A seated man with bare upper body and a golden-yellow dhoti sits cross-legged, his hand near his mouth in a ritual gesture. Behind him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds a large yellow-orange umbrella over him. A third person in white kneels at lower right. Small metal vessels and fruit sit on the floor at lower left, and simple tiled-roof buildings stand behind. The image is heavily colour-saturated with yellow and red tones.
