Night outdoor ritual scene with a standing priest in orange and gold-bordered dhoti and an orange-and-gold cloth draped over his head, bending forward over a yagna or puja area with a small flame and offerings. Around him, several young boys in saffron-orange robes with white vertical forehead markings sit cross-legged on mats, some holding rudraksha malas and one holding a yellow cloth. Marigold garlands, scattered pink and yellow flower petals, brass vessels and a kalasha-like pot surround the mats, and two standing fans and a parked car are visible in the background.
