Outdoor photograph of a ritual at a large dark stone yoni-shaped or oval altar decorated with a thick border of marigold and multicolored flower garlands. Behind it, a man with long dark hair and a bare chest, wearing a red-orange dhoti and rudraksha-style beads, holds a brass vessel and pours or offers from it. Beside him, another man in an orange-red cloth with a headband and beads stands with his hands together, and a small figure in orange crouches at the edge. A colourful striped canopy with fringed tassels in blue, yellow, green and red shades hangs overhead. Behind them stands a red multi-storey building with water tanks on a rooftop, and white metal railings surround the area.
