A photograph of an indoor ritual in a plain white-walled room with an orange doorway. A man in orange robes with a white flower garland and a red-and-white flower garland stands centre, smiling, with long dark hair. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shirt stands with hands joined. A woman in a red and gold sari holds a brass plate of lit oil lamps toward the robed man, while other women in white and a red-clad woman stand nearby. In the foreground a man in white shirt holds a silver kalasha decorated with white flowers and yellow blossoms. The orange-robed figure's appearance is consistent with a presentation cue but the page does not confirm his presence, so identity is uncertain.
