Outdoor ritual at a fresh earthen mound strewn with flower petals and yellow powder. A bare-chested man in white dhoti pours liquid from a clay pot onto the mound, while an older man in white dhoti and shirt stands at left, pointing or steadying the pot. Behind, saffron-robed attendants hold large ornate umbrellas in red, orange and green, and one holds a silver trident. A figure at centre-right wears a rust-coloured robe, a long brown-beaded necklace and a beard, with a swept-back hairstyle; a young man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Tents and a metal frame are visible behind. This appears to be an abhishekam-style libation at a burial mound.
