A photograph of an outdoor ritual at dusk. In the foreground a man with long dark hair, white and red forehead markings, a red-and-white flower garland and heavy gold beaded necklaces over a leopard-print shawl and saffron cloth raises a silver lamp with a bright flame in one hand, holding a small silver bell or vessel in the other. Behind him a second priest in saffron robes with a shaved head holds a silver staff with a ceremonial finial. A brass bowl, a black bucket and a silver ritual vessel sit on an orange cloth at the lower left. Onlookers stand in the background near a green canopied red vehicle, palm trees and a sign.
