Outdoor ritual by a white shrine with a black Nandi bull statue wreathed in yellow marigold garlands and a copper kalasha finial above. In front, a fire pit burns with a flame and logs. A saffron-robed sannyasi with long dark hair stands near the shrine, and a younger man in saffron cloth and white clothes beside him. A devotee in white bows low before the fire pit with a dark bag at his side. A row of standing devotees in white dhotis and shirts, women in white saris and an orange sari, watches from the right. Strings of small white-and-blue flags hang overhead among palm trees.
