Night outdoor ritual photograph. A seated man in a rust-orange robe and gold necklaces, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, sits on a raised brick platform beneath a large ornate decorated umbrella with red, green and yellow tassels. Four bare-chested men in white dhotis with white markings on their bodies stand in a line before him, some with hands folded and one leaning forward toward him. Strings of coloured lights and small flags are visible in the background, and an oil lamp sits on the platform. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated under the umbrella with distinctive gold ornaments and orange robes; the page describes a Pournami Rudrabhishekam.
