A night-time outdoor gathering on a green mat. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a red and yellow flower garland and gold armbands sits on a red tiger-print throne-like couch, extending his hand to receive or give something. Beside him stands a shaved-headed priest in saffron cloth with white tilak and beaded necklaces. Around them about a dozen boys in black t-shirts and dark shorts stand, sit or crouch, some with palms pressed together in greeting. A small white cooler sits behind the boys and a scattered handful of sweets lie on the mat. Red cushions and a walking staff rest on the couch.
