Night photograph of an outdoor open ground beside a tall, pale wooden pole strung with a line of small colourful lanterns or flags in red, yellow and green. Three men stand to the right, hands pressed together in namaskar; the nearest wears an orange-red shawl, another wears white dhoti with a white upper cloth, and the far right man wears a white cloth with a white tilak on his forehead. Bright lamps and small trees dimly light the scene. Two or three other figures are faintly visible at the left edge.

Close view of a split reddish-brown and white pipe-like post set upright into reddish earth, with a dark slit running down its length and a smear of orange-red paste near the top. Scattered pink rose petals and whole pink roses lie on the soil around its base, with a small coin-like disc and loose grit nearby. A pink and white fabric edge appears at the upper left corner. No people are visible; the scene is a ground-level still life of an offering site.
