A young man in an orange dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala stands at a low circular red brick platform, one arm extended toward the foliage. Beside him, a bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair, rudraksha necklaces and gold hoop earrings holds a silver bowl of pink flower petals. A cameraman in white shirt and dark trousers films from behind. A chain-link fence, red-painted walls and palm and mango trees surround the courtyard, with petals scattered on the dirt.
