Night outdoor ritual on grass beside a draped magenta altar table heaped with red and yellow marigold garlands, a brass oil lamp lit at its left and a ceremonial brass vessel and metal dishes on the table. Behind the altar, a bare-chested man in white dhoti and a red-beaded mala stands with hands joined, and two men in white cloth and garlands stand nearby. In the foreground, a bare-chested man in an orange and pink cloth sits cross-legged facing a second man in glasses and white shirt, while a man in white dhoti sits at right amid fruit, flowers and brass plates. Metal stands and a tripod sit at the edges. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.
