A long-haired, bearded man in an orange-red fleece top and rust-brown dhoti stands in a dirt-cut ground beside orange shipping-container structures, holding a clay pot up with both hands. Beside him, a young man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl holds a multicoloured striped umbrella overhead and a red-wrapped object. Bare-chested attendants in white and orange dhotis stand nearby, and drummers with round drums line a narrow passage behind them. A concrete slab lies in the foreground, consistent with a nandhi puja or last-rites ceremony.
