Outdoor ritual scene beside a stone pillar and a red-painted wall. A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair, a red-ochre robe with gold border, and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead sits on a step, drawing a pattern in a brass plate of fine pale powder with a thin stick. A small oil lamp flame burns on the ground at left. Behind him a shirtless man with an Om marking on his chest sits in white dhoti, and two men stand behind in orange and white clothing, one wearing rudraksha beads. A wooden stool with a folded red cloth and a small bowl sit at right. a person cues: long dreadlocked hair, red-ochre ceremonial robe and tilak, seated as the officiant of the powder ritual.
