A photograph of an outdoor ritual on grass beside a rock face. A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban wears a long garland of white, red, orange and yellow flowers and a rudraksha mala with a gold-toned pendant. He bends forward, pouring from a brass pot onto a small patch of ground, with flower petals and marigolds scattered nearby. Two or three standing men in pale blue and white shirts with dark trousers watch with hands folded. A small metal bowl sits at the left edge. The ground looks freshly disturbed.
