A photograph of a seated ritual scene inside a temple hall with a large stone pillar behind. In the centre, an elderly bald man in saffron-orange robes with a red-beaded rudraksha mala, a pink flower garland, gold ornaments and white vibhuti on his forehead sits with hands clasped. To his right, a younger long-haired man in orange robes with a pink garland and a gold-trimmed shawl, his arm marked with white paste, sits in front of him. A man in a grey shirt kneels at lower left near a green cloth with gold trim, and seated devotees in white and yellow saris and white dhotis watch from the background. Several people in white and orange surround the gathering. Whether the central elderly figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
