A photograph of an outdoor evening ritual at night. A seated man in maroon robes and a yellow and pink flower garland sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with coloured jewels and decorated with tiger-striped cushions. He holds a silver bowl with pink petals and sprinkles them, with bracelets on his wrists and a rudraksha-style mala. Beside him, a bare-chested young attendant in an orange turban and orange cloth holds his hands in anjali mudra, with a long white beaded necklace. Oil lamps glow at the lower left and dark foliage fills the background.
