A shaved-headed priest in rust-red robes and a dark rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on the floor, pouring water from a long golden conical vessel into a silver bowl on a silver tray. Nearby stand a silver pot, a brass bell, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a small brass incense holder with smoke rising, and a brass dish of rose petals. White sacred ash marks his forehead and arms. Other robed priests in orange and red sit behind him holding similar golden cones.
