Outdoor ritual scene at an ashram-style compound beside orange shipping-container structures and palm trees. A man with long dreadlocks, a trimmed beard, a tilak on his forehead, and a red-orange top with rust-coloured dhoti pours water from a clay pot over a freshly laid concrete slab, a ritual abhishekam-like offering. A large multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with tassels is held above him by an attendant in a white dhoti. Around them, several bare-chested men in white or orange dhotis and rudraksha malas stand and sit, some holding white drums, and a woman in a blue sari watches from the left. Water sprays from the pot onto the ground, and the scene is set on a dirt-and-concrete ground.
