Outdoor photograph on sand beneath tall coconut palms. Several people in white traditional clothing lean forward over long green-topped tables, their heads bowed low toward metal bowls set on the surface, with white powder dusted across the table. A crowd of onlookers stands behind, many in white dhotis and kurtas, some in orange shawls, and a few children. A man in an orange shawl stands at the right near a white van marked Ananda Nandi. A long red-and-black rod lies on the sand at lower left. Smoke or incense drifts through the air.
