Outdoor photograph of two men performing a ritual atop a large dark grey stone dome-shaped object, its top ringed with a garland of red roses, yellow and white flowers and green leaves. The man on the left, bare-chested with long dark matted hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, has white horizontal tilak markings on his forehead and arms and sits with eyes lowered. Beside him a younger man with short dark hair, white forehead marks and an orange cloth draped over his shoulder also leans forward over the stone. A metal railing frames the structure against a pale sky with a blurred steel framework behind. The scene suggests a sacred abhishekam or puja over a stone object.
