A crowd gathers under a teal-painted porch beside a tall coconut palm, as several people work around a large steel pot or tray. In the foreground, a woman in an orange sari with a yellow marigold garland kneels and reaches into the vessel, while a bald man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits at its side. A man in a red-checked lungi crouches at the lower edge. Behind them, men in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing mala beads, lean in to help, and onlookers press forward, some holding up phones to film.
