Outdoor ritual on bare red earth scattered with flower petals, under colourful decorated parasols with tassels. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti kneels and pours water from a green coconut into a silver vessel held by a man in white shirt. Beside them stand a bearded man in a rust-orange robe with a long rudraksha-style mala and white tilak, hands folded, flanked by a man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shirt and an older man in white. Devotees in orange and saffron garments, a young boy in a patterned shirt, and a woman with a garland stand behind.
