Outdoors on sand, a bearded man with long dark hair sits cross-legged and shapes a conical mound of yellow turmeric powder decorated with a garland of pink and white flowers and green leaves. He wears rudraksha malas on his neck and both arms, a maroon dhoti, and white markings on his forehead and body. Behind him, men in red and orange cloths and gold necklaces stand near a silver ritual box, a small brass pot and a bell. A man in white dhoti sits at the right edge, and an offering plate lies in the foreground.
