Outdoor photo beside a wide, fast-flowing river under an overcast sky, with trees on the far bank. A man seated on a leopard-print cushioned seat in saffron/orange robes with a long garland and rudraksha mala pours liquid from a silver vessel over a white and gold stepped shrine-like object placed on a wooden table. Two attendants stand behind him holding a red and green canopy umbrella with tassels and a gold-tipped finial, plus a silver staff and trident-like standards draped with orange marigold garlands; one attendant wears white. A man in an orange head cloth and grey top stands nearby, and a man in orange kneels at right beside silver bowls. Another person in orange takes photographs at left. A small white speaker sits on the walkway. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a garland and rudraksha mala, is pouring the offering during a ritual.
