Outdoor ritual on grass: a seated figure in orange robes with a white forehead band and a white-and-red flower garland sits before offering plates of rice, kumkum, marigold petals and a basket of apples and bananas. Behind, orange-robed devotees stand and one bearded man in orange holds up a phone to film. A man in a grey knit cap and a cameraman with a video camera are at the right edge. The figure's hands are placed over a dish in ritual offering. Trees and a stone pillar frame the left side. Five or six people are visible, and the page identifies the seated figure as a person, though appearance cues are only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain.
