Outdoor photo at dusk of a ritual exchange on a concrete path. A bare-chested priest in a yellow dhoti-style cloth with a dark red border holds a vessel and gives an offering to a woman in an orange silk saree with gold border, who holds out her hands with gold bangles. Behind them a figure in an orange robe with a dark beaded mala stands barefoot in a puddle of water, and a man in white kurta and white pants wearing sandals watches. Other people stand at the edges, a silver kalasha with yellow flower garlands is at left, and sunlight glows through the trees.
