Outdoor scene at the base of a rocky, scrub-covered hill with trees. A bare-chested man in orange dhoti and saffron shawl with beaded necklaces stands on a raised white-and-red platform, holding a ceremonial multicoloured umbrella over a seated figure. The seated figure wears red-and-white clothing and a red headpiece with garlands and strands of beads, sitting on a red-and-brown pedestal, possibly a statue or murti. A white car and a woman in white at the right edge are partly visible. Red shipping-container-style walls stand behind the platform.

Outdoor photo at a hillside site with a rocky, scrubby mountain rising behind a row of rust-coloured shipping containers under a corrugated roof. In the foreground a bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and orange shawl stands on a raised stone platform, holding a ritual lamp aloft over a seated figure. The seated figure wears a pink garment, a red-beaded mala and a gold necklace, and sits on a brown seat beneath a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with a tasselled fringe.
