Outdoor ritual at a dirt-mound burial site on a sunny day. A central man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark and a short beard wears an orange zip fleece over a rust-red dhoti and walks barefoot on a striped cloth scattered with flower petals. Behind him an attendant in a bare-chested orange dhoti holds a long pole carrying a multicoloured fringed umbrella canopy. A bald man in a rudraksha mala and a bare-chested drummer stand nearby, and a young man in a white dhoti with gold border stands at right holding a maroon cloth. Water tanks and trees fill the background.
