Outdoor ritual on a riverside stone ghat beside a wide river with forested hills and a suspension bridge behind. A seated man with an orange-red turban and bare torso, wearing rudraksha beads, presses his palms together in front of a arrangement of coconuts decorated with red roses, gold-wrapped cushions and a green cloth with a beaded ornament. About a dozen people in white and orange-red clothing sit cross-legged on the steps at left, several wearing necklaces, and an orange-robed figure stands in the background.

A bare-chested priest with orange-red headwear and body ash sits at right tending a small fire on a stack of yellow bricks, with brass bowls, a kalasha-style pot, flowers and offerings around him. Seated before him are about six people: a woman in white with long dark hair and hands clasped, a woman in white beside her, a seated woman in maroon with a rudraksha-style mala, and a man in grey. Two rafters paddle a small boat on the water behind. This appears to be a homa or yagna at the riverbank.2014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19January 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesOutdoor riverside gathering on stone steps beside a green river with a suspension bridge and mountains behind.
