A photograph of a ritual at an outdoor site: a long-haired man in an orange-red fleece top and rust-orange dhoti holds a small terracotta pot in his left hand while his right hand is extended over a freshly cast grey concrete slab. Behind him an attendant in orange cloth holds a yellow-and-pink ceremonial umbrella on a tall pole. To the right, a young man in orange dhoti and shawl wears a rudraksha mala and gold pendant. Orange shipping-container style structures and palm trees stand behind, with a dirt embankment on the left. The man is described only by role as a ritual officiant; any identity is not established by appearance.
