Outdoor ritual at a riverside pavilion with a blue corrugated metal roof, mountains behind. In the foreground a figure with long, wind-swept dark hair wears orange saffron clothing and holds a microphone while leaning over a small silver deity murti set on a wooden stand. Brass oil lamps and offering plates sit on a white cloth before them. Behind, many people in orange and saffron robes sit on the ground, some with folded hands, and a man in white stands near a pole.
