A night-time outdoor ritual under a corrugated roof strung with coloured fairy lights and hanging lanterns. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a gold beaded necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lowered, with a brass oil lamp and an offering plate at his feet. A second man, bare-backed and wearing a white dhoti with gold border, raises one arm overhead, with white ash marks on the arm. Another man in a white shirt is partly visible at the lower left, hands folded. The figure in orange has distinctive long hair and ornate gold necklace cues, so he is a probable Swamiji in an in-person ritual setting.
