In the foreground, a priest with bare upper body and a wooden rudraksha mala holds out a small folded gold-coloured sheet with his fingers toward a woman seated on a red cushioned seat. She wears gold bangles, a gold necklace and a rust-coloured garment, and her forearm bears a red thread and a dark bracelet. Behind them, a second man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala holds a wooden fan-like implement, and an ornate gold panel rises in the background beside a red curtain. A blurred head is visible in the lower right corner.2016-09-28September 28 20162016-09-28Close photograph of two pairs of hands passing a small gold object, possibly a pen-shaped or ornamental item, between them. One woman wears a red garment with gold bangles on her wrist and a white identification badge hanging on a lanyard. The other person wears white clothing and a thin bracelet on the wrist. Background is soft and blurred with white and red fabric.2016-11-12December 07 20162016-12-07June 30 20162016-06-30May 24 20182018-05-24 +1 copiesJanuary 06 20182018-01-06A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in a temple-like hall. A bare-chested man on the left with rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets holds out a small folded paper or card, and his hand is reaching toward an outstretched hand on the right, which wears gold bangles and a bracelet. Behind him stands another bare-chested man with rudraksha malas. The background shows a red velvet cushion, an ornate gold-carved throne or pedestal, a red cloth, and a small bottle. The visible men have no clearly distinctive presentation cues beyond malas, so the central figure cannot be confirmed as the a person from appearance.2016-09-28May 24 20182018-05-24 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure in rust-red and brown robes resting an arm on a red velvet bolster set on a gold-trimmed throne-like seat. The figure wears gold bangles and a dark beaded bracelet, and bare feet are visible at lower right. A younger man in orange-trimmed white clothing, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, kneels at left, extending both hands to receive a small gold-coloured packet or card from the seated figure's hand. Behind them stand additional robed attendants, one holding a wooden implement, against a deep red curtain and an ornate gold panel. The figure's appearance is uncertain, so the seated person is described by role only.2016-09-28
