Photograph of a crowd gathered around a low table draped with a purple cloth and a striped runner. A man in a plain white kurta leans forward with his head bowed, while another man's hand rests on his shoulder. Around them, people in dark and orange clothing lean in closely. On the table sit a flat grey stone block, a small brass oil lamp, a pink paper or booklet, and a small stone. A young girl in the foreground points toward the table. No one present is identifiable as a person from appearance, and the scene is not clearly a named ritual.
