Outdoor ritual under a white canopy with a hazy sky, a bright tent cloth above. A group of robed men stands on sandy ground before a row of coconuts wrapped in colourful cloths, set on plates of flowers, leaves and grains. Several men wear saffron and orange robes and shawls, one wears a tall saffron-and-red turban, and one bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and orange shawl stands at the centre with hands raised in offering. A man in white robes and orange-striped shawl stands at the right edge, and a tripod-mounted camera appears at the top. Yellow-and-orange flags and garlands frame the scene.
