A photograph of an outdoor temple-courtyard ritual beneath a corrugated roof. A man in a long-haired, bare-chested, saffron-coloured shawl and rudraksha mala stands with raised hands touching the head of a devotee in a navy blue shirt and white dhoti, who bows with palms joined and a yellow turban. Behind them, a priest in a white dress with a shaved head and forehead markings stands near a golden throne-like seat. Another orange-robed man holds a golden plate on the right, and a further saffron-clad attendant stands in the background. A decorated deity murti with garlands is visible in an illuminated shrine, and potted plants and an orange wall frame the scene. The long-haired man's cues are consistent with the page's a person reference, but appearance alone is not certain, so this is only a probable identification and the role is recorded as a presiding figure.
