A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in an indoor hall. In the foreground, a younger man in a white shirt and a grey-haired man in white dhoti and shirt with red-and-green-edged cloth lean forward and extend their hands to receive something from a person seated before them, whose head wears a garland of white jasmine and orange-and-red flowers. Behind them, a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with rudraksha malas and a gold chain holds a folded paper sheet, and other men in white stand nearby, one holding a tray decorated with leaves and flowers. A saffron-coloured cloth hangs at the right edge. The photo is watermarked with copyright text.

A photograph inside a bright green room with framed clock and wall lights. A young man with long dark hair, wearing an orange cloth and a garland of red, yellow, pink and white flowers, kneels and offers a red apple to a middle-aged man in white shirt and white dhoti who bends forward with cupped hands. Behind them a man in an orange robe and rimless glasses, with a rudraksha mala, watches, while other men in white shirts and women in orange and saree stand around smiling. Several people are visible, and the scene reads as a devotee receiving a fruit offering.
