Outdoor ritual on a green mat under palm trees: a copper kalasha with white flower garlands stands on a decorated base as a man in a red turban and rust-red dhoti with gold border stands centrally, holding a metal vessel over it. Around him, a man with a shaved head and mala beads holds his hands in anjali, a white-clad attendant holds a brass plate, and two men in saffron turbans and garlands hold offering plates. Yellow water tank behind, petals scattered on the ground, a camera operator at lower right.

A man in a red turban and saffron-red dhoti with a white flower garland pours liquid from a small vessel onto a tall brass kalasha placed on a colourful geometric yantra-style base. Around him, four other men in saffron-red dhotis and orange turbans or shaved heads hold flower garlands, a brass plate of flowers, and clap their hands. A yellow water tank and tent stand behind them. Several participants wear rudraksha malas. Five physical people are visible, with one more partly visible at the right edge, and the scene suggests abhishekam at a consecration ritual.2014-06-29 +1 copiesJune 29 20142014-06-29 +1 copiesJune 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copies
