Outdoor ritual at a samadhi-style mound of fresh earth beside orange-brown container buildings. A man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing an orange-red fleece jacket and orange dhoti, rings a handbell and holds a small ritual object. Behind him, three men in orange or ochre dhotis and rudraksha malas stand; one holds a tall gold-shafted umbrella with a colourful fringed canopy above the mound, another has hands folded in prayer, and a fourth stands in white dhoti and shawl with a mala. Flower garlands, green leaves and a white cloth bundle rest on the mound. Several people watch from behind in the background.
