In the centre, a young man in saffron-orange robes and a matching turban stands beside an older man with white hair and beard wearing an orange kurta; both lean over a blue water tank holding gold-coloured deity figures. Around them, older men and women in white shirts, a woman in green, and onlookers, one holding a camera. The scene suggests a water-based ritual with deity images. The orange-clad older man with white hair and beard shows some appearance cues of a person, though this cannot be confirmed from appearance alone. Event context is not visible.2006-09-10September 10 20062006-09-10September 10 20062006-09-10Outdoor ritual at a blue pool lined with banana leaves under a decorated canopy. In the centre, a man in a gold-yellow kurta with a white and red shawl and dark sunglasses kneels and lowers a painted deity murti, pink and gold with a halo, into the water with help from an older man in white on the left. On the right, a smiling younger man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a long rudraksha mala stands beside the pool, with an older bearded man in white behind him. Several onlookers in colourful saris and orange garments watch from the background. Four or more people are prominent, so the count is well above one.2006-09-10
