July 25 20092009-07-25Indoor photograph at a hall event with a dark ceiling, a fan, and a patterned hanging backdrop. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment and kneels, holding the wrist of a young boy in a light patterned shirt and a beaded necklace. The boy's mother, in a red blouse and striped sari with gold bangles, stands beside him with her hand extended. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti wears a rudraksha-style red bead necklace and an ID badge, and a younger man in an orange robe stands at the right with a wristwatch, with other men in white shirts behind. The scene shows a blessing or tying of a sacred thread at the wrist, consistent with a ritual exchange. Visible people number about six to eight.2009-12-10A seated man in a saffron-orange robe over a red top, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, smiles while holding the hand of a small boy in a green-grey jacket.

A woman in a white top with a rudraksha mala stands behind, and a woman in a pink sari leans in at right.
