A photograph of a temple-setting exchange. A bald older man in orange robes bends forward, holding a yellow fruit and a folded paper or money, offering them toward a seated man in orange robes with long dark hair, a red bindi and a dark rudraksha mala, who raises one hand in a gesture of speech. Behind them are brass lamps, a small brass bell, a kumkum box, and garlands of orange and purple flowers on a deity or altar display. Two younger men in orange stand at the left edge, one with a white forehead mark. A visible cues-based candidate appears in the seated man, with long hair, orange robes, rudraksha mala and a throne-like seat, so the appearance is a probable match; the bald offerer is a devotee.
