Outdoor ritual scene on sandy ground under a colourful striped canopy with umbrellas. Several people in white dhotis and white shirts stand around a row of large blue plastic drums, with clay pots, metal buckets and a brass kalasha with garland nearby. A man in an orange saffron robe with a long-haired appearance stands at right beside a man in white holding a brass pot. A bald man in white holds a red cup. Behind them a red-and-white backdrop and a blue signboard in Kannada are visible. Visible actions suggest a water or abhishekam-style pouring ritual.
