Outdoor ritual photograph at a temple-like courtyard with palm trees and orange-walled buildings. A man in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl, bare-chested with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, stands beside a square fire pit (homa/yagna kunda) and pours or offers something from his hands. Around the pit are brass oil lamps, a silver-toned pot with a red-and-white flower garland, a brass bowl of offerings, and small yellow flower petals on a white cloth. Lined stone sculptures and a tall red circular ring frame stand in the background.
