Outdoors on a dirt ground lined with palm trees, a long-haired man in a saffron/orange robe sits on a white plastic chair with his hands together, facing a crowd. Beside him a large grey stone statue of a seated deity murti is suspended from the hook of a yellow crane, with a bamboo scaffold and a tall pillar structure behind. Around 30 onlookers stand watching, including women in saris and salwar kameez, young people in white, and men in white dhotis. A woman in orange and a man in white walk across the ground in the background.
