Night photograph of an outdoor ritual space under a thatched canopy. In the foreground at right, a man in a white shirt and orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, with a white tilak on his forehead. Beside him, a camera lens intrudes into the left foreground. Mid-ground, a bald man in an orange robe stands before a raised stone platform holding a lit oil lamp, with small brass bells hanging from its base. Other robed men in orange and maroon, and others in white, stand behind in the dimly lit courtyard, with a decorated pillar and hanging ornaments nearby. No identity is assigned to the bald man in the orange robe; he is described by role and dress only.
