Evening ritual scene with a fire pit in the foreground, flames rising from a metal homa-style trough with brass bowls and vessels set around it. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on an ornate red throne with gold trim, gesturing with one hand as he speaks into a microphone. Before him, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a red-bordered shawl kneels and offers a silver plate to the seated figure. Behind them, a parked car and a signboard with green and red graphics. Two more people sit at the right edge. The seated man's cues of saffron robes, mala and gold necklace match the page's a person description, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.

Outdoors at night, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace sits on an ornate red throne with gold trim. Before him, a man kneeling in a white dhoti with a maroon border, bare-chested and holding a silver tray, offers something to him. In front of the throne a fire pit with flames and brass vessels is set up. A microphone stands at left, and a plant-themed sign is at the right edge. A rudraksha-adorned figure on a throne with a kneeling priest in white fits the description of a person by orange clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, while the kneeling figure is a priest. Several seated onlookers appear at the right edge.2012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23Photograph of an evening ritual on a raised dais.

A priest standing at right in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders holds a ceremonial implement over the central figure amid smoke. A second priest in white sits in front, tending a flame and offerings. Flowers, a kalasha-like arrangement and a lit lamp stand at left.
