In the centre, a man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long dark hair, an orange headband and a white and red flower garland, holds a silver bell in one hand and a flaming oil lamp in the other. Behind him, a man in a dark jacket and red tie holds a tall gold staff, and men in white dhotis with orange shawls and orange headbands follow. A photographer with a camera stands at left, and a woman in white with folded hands is at right. The floor is a dark reflective stone surface. A small blue logo appears in the lower left corner.2007-12-25June 15 20092009-06-15A ritual outdoors in front of a white building with banana plants. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a matching orange shawl and a tall orange head covering stands barefoot on a woven mat, holding a small silver ritual vessel and a bell. He wears a large ornate gold-toned necklace with a pendant and rudraksha beads, and a horizontal sacred ash mark on his forehead. Three men in white dhoti and kurta clothing surround him: one on the left holds a brass tray, one behind him holds a tray, and one at right in a yellow-and-white shawl holds a plate.
