Outdoor photograph at a lakeshore with mountains and cloudy sky behind. A seated figure in orange-red robes, an orange head cloth and a leopard-print shawl sits on a low wooden stool before a gilded framed backdrop, receiving offerings. A man in a white puffer jacket and red sleeves leans forward holding a small brass vessel toward them, while a man in a white shirt and sunglasses stands behind holding a brass lamp-like ritual object. Around them a group of about ten standing devotees in knitted caps, sweaters and jackets watch, with a bare-headed woman in a headscarf at the back. Rugs and a folded cloth lie on the grass, and gilded deity figures sit at the lower right edge. The seated figure is shown as a person of recognisable presentation, but the image does not establish identity, so the seated figure is given only a role.
