Outdoor ritual at a construction-side courtyard beside orange corrugated metal walls and palm trees. A bare-chested attendant in an orange dhoti holds a large multicoloured tasselled ceremonial umbrella overhead. A man with long dreadlocks and a red long-sleeved top and maroon cloth, is pouring or offering white cloth and sprinkling from a bowl. Beside him a man in white dhoti with an orange-bordered shawl and rudraksha mala stands, and a shaved-headed attendant in the foreground holds a tray of orange flower petals and green leaves. Scattered broken clay pots lie on the sandy ground.
