Outdoor evening ceremony on a lawn at night, lit by a bright spotlight. In the foreground a bare-shouldered man in a maroon-and-gold draped cloth, a maroon turban and a long beaded necklace faces an altar of coconuts wrapped in white cloth, set on a purple and teal cloth with red flowers and small brass vessels. He holds his hands together in a devotional gesture. Behind him a seated figure in red sits before a tiered golden canopy, and a line of seated devotees in white and red clothing watches the ritual. Illuminated hotel windows stand in the background.

A bare-chested man in a red-orange turban and orange-red dhoti with a sash stands at the head of a long row of kalasha-style brass vessels and offering plates on a decorated table cloth, performing a puja. Seated devotees in white clothes line both sides of a stone-paved path, some with folded hands. Potted plants with yellow wraps and small oil lamps sit on the tables. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person but the cues are limited to the turban and orange-red attire, so identity is uncertain.2013-12-13December 09 20132013-12-09
