Outdoor ritual scene in a courtyard with red-painted walls and stone steps. A man in an orange dhoti and orange cloth with long dreadlocks, rudraksha beads and a gold hoop earring pours liquid from a clear vessel into a large brass pot engraved with figures. Seated beside him, a bearded man in a rust-red cloth with a red tilak on his forehead washes the rim with an orange sponge. A bare-chested man with an Om tattoo on his chest and white dhoti sits on the left, and a young girl in orange sits in the background. Potted plants and a stone pillar are behind them.

He reaches into a large ornately carved copper vessel with embossed floral and figure reliefs, while a second orange-robed man behind him, wearing a gold necklace and a brown rudraksha mala, holds a silver plate. A red thread is tied on his wrist and a small tray of ritual items sits to the left. Other people in orange and white cloth sit nearby.
