Outdoor ritual photograph at a temple-like courtyard with palm trees and a small shrine tower behind. A man seated on a red throne with a leopard-print headwrap, long dark hair, a red-brown garment and a yellow-and-white flower garland raises a silver ritual staff with a bell-like fitting while holding out his hand. In front of him a bare-chested young man in a white dhoti with gold border kneels and offers a folded orange cloth. Behind them, several shirtless and white-clad men stand and devotees in orange and red sit on striped mats, some with hands folded in prayer. Other people stand near the shrine area.
