Night photograph of an outdoor ritual ground after rain, with muddy ground and puddles reflecting firelight. A large fire blazes beside a tree at centre, with smaller flames and lamps around it. Several people in white dhotis and orange or saffron cloths move about the site, and a figure in a light garment stands at the right edge. Dark trees frame the scene under a cloudy night sky. The setting suggests a fire ritual or homa, though no person's identity can be confirmed from appearance.

Night photograph of an open muddy ground with puddles reflecting light. A group of figures in white dhotis and some in orange or red cloth stand near a large tree on the right, beside bright fires or flaming lamps and a lit structure. A few people walk on the left toward a dim building and street lights. Long shadows stretch across the wet ground. The scene suggests an outdoor evening ritual or procession, with the people's faces and roles not clearly visible.2016-09-15September 15 20162016-09-15A photograph taken at night on an open grassy field with a muddy path in the foreground. Several people in orange and saffron robes and white dhoti-style clothing move across the ground, some carrying objects. In the background, a group of people in white and orange stands in a line near a small raised red platform with a red umbrella, beside a red-walled building and trees. Bright light and smoke rise from the left, and a small fire glows on the ground near the center. A person in white clothing stands at the left edge. No single individual can be reliably identified from appearance here, so a person is treated as uncertain.2015-11-11September 15 20162016-09-15September 15 20162016-09-15March 02 20132013-03-02Night photo of an outdoor ritual on bare ground.
