A photograph of a crowded outdoor ceremony under a white canopy decorated with strings of marigold garlands, banana leaves and a row of blue-and-white banners. Devotees in white dhotis and saris with orange shawls stand and sit on a red carpet and woven mats. At the centre, an older man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a garland walks with a bare-shouldered figure in a white cloth; on the right, a man in white with a garland and orange scarf stands beside a seated man with an orange turban and orange shawl. In the foreground a devotee lies prostrate face-down on the mat, while others around him kneel and sit, some laughing. A brass oil lamp stands near the back. The scene looks like a formal temple-style gathering with ritual dress.
