A photograph of an outdoor ritual gathering at a temple courtyard. A figure in a sleeveless orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on an orange cushion on a low wooden platform, facing away from the camera toward the seated assembly. A brass vessel with a spout sits on the ground near him, beside a bed of grey ash or pale powder outlining the sitting area. Around him, a crowd of men dressed in white kurtas and dhotis sits on the ground and on a raised platform in front of an orange-and-white painted wall. Striped woven mats extend across the courtyard. A tall orange building stands at the right beside a wooden pole, and figures in white move in the background near a tent and plastic chairs.
