A photograph of a priest in an orange-saffron shawl over white dhoti with a blue head wrap pouring water from a small spout held in one hand. He holds a silver kalasha vessel, shaped with an elephant-head spout, garlanded with white and purple flowers and wrapped in cloth at the top, while a flame glows below. The night setting has a dark background. A rudraksha mala hangs at his neck and a wristwatch is visible on his other wrist. The priest's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A photograph of a ritual at night under a tent canopy. A man in a blue headwrap, an orange shawl over a bare upper body, a rudraksha-style mala, white dhoti with a striped border, and a wristwatch leans over a silver kalasha-style vessel decorated with white and purple flowers and leaves. He holds a small ritual object and attends to the vessel with focused attention. Warm lamp light and dark background surround him.
