Outdoor photo at a hillside site with a rocky, scrubby mountain rising behind a row of rust-coloured shipping containers under a corrugated roof. In the foreground a bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and orange shawl stands on a raised stone platform, holding a ritual lamp aloft over a seated figure. The seated figure wears a pink garment, a red-beaded mala and a gold necklace, and sits on a brown seat beneath a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with a tasselled fringe. Concrete pillars frame the platform, a white car is parked at left, and a woman in white stands at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and ornate clothing, but the identity is uncertain, so the candidate is described only by appearance.
