Outdoor temple ceremony photograph. A person in an orange saffron turban and orange wrap, with rudraksha bead bracelets on the wrists and a red and white flower garland, holds up a copper kalasha vessel wrapped in white cord and topped with green mango leaves, eyes lowered. Another saffron-robed person with a rudraksha mala and a pendant stands behind, and a few devotees in white and yellow-bordered cloth crowd the frame at the edges. The copper pot, marigold and jasmine garlands suggest a kalasha procession during a kumbhabhishekam-style temple event.
