Outdoor ritual on red sandstone steps. Two young priests with shaved heads and white tripundra ash marks sit on a pink cloth. The younger one wears white dhoti with gold border and reads or chants from a book; the older one in orange robe holds a small book beside him. In the center stands a framed photograph of a seated figure in orange robe with long dark hair, rudraksha-style white beaded necklace, and raised hand, set before a banyan tree; it is a printed portrait, not a physical person. A leopard-print cushion sits beneath it, with a water bottle, a brass kalasha holding a yellow flower, and a small red patterned rug in front. Several people sit in white and red clothes behind a metal railing in the background.2013-07-29July 29 20132013-07-29A young boy seated cross-legged on a white-and-gold cushion wears saffron-orange robes with a pink-edged cloth, a rudraksha mala, and white tripundra marks on his forehead and arms.
