Outdoor ritual by a lake on colourful striped mats and a red patterned rug. A man in orange robes sits on a low orange-cushioned seat holding a microphone and a paper, speaking. Beside him a second man in orange sits behind an orange umbrella. In the foreground a bald man in orange robes sits facing the offerings: brass pots and lamps, a tray with fruit (mango, pineapple, banana), flower garlands, a wrapped cloth bundle, dried sticks and a plate of sweets. A stone-edged pond and trees form the background.

Outdoor photo of a riverside ritual on a striped woven mat beside water. Several saffron-robed priests sit on the mats, one holding an orange umbrella over a seated figure in saffron, and a multicoloured umbrella stands at the left edge. A brass tray holds small vessels, a flower-decked square container with a bundle of offerings, bananas, fruit and a plate of cooked food. Rows of small brass lamps or cups fill the right side.
