A photograph of an outdoor ritual beside a tall copper kalasha-style pillar wrapped in a white and red cloth and draped with white jasmine and red rose garlands, set against palm fronds and green foliage. A smiling figure with long dark hair stands at right in a rust-red robe, wearing layered rudraksha and bead malas, red and white flower garlands, gold bangles and an armband, holding a small brass oil lamp or bell in one hand and a metal ritual vessel in the other. A seated devotee's head is visible at the bottom edge. The pillar appears to be a ceremonial object used in a puja.
