A photograph of an outdoor ritual gathering. In the foreground, a bare-chested young man with long dark hair, rudraksha malas and white sacred markings on his shoulders and arm sits on a striped blue-and-pink cloth in orange robes, holding a small brass cup and speaking into a microphone. Before him lie a brass plate with a garland of beads and marigolds, a small brass pot and vessels, and yellow flowers. Behind him, rows of seated devotees in orange clothing sit with hands folded, some in pale orange and pink saris, with a palm-lined backdrop and rising incense smoke.
