A photograph of an indoor ritual setting. On the left, a bald, older Western man in a light blue t-shirt and white trousers, wearing a rudraksha mala and a name badge, holds his cupped hands out. On the right, a long-haired man in a pale green embroidered kurta and a white and gold turban, smiling, dips his fingers into a clay pot held by a white-clad priest. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white dhotis and orange-red shawls stand watching, and a man in a yellow shawl is partly visible at the far left edge. The man in the turban has long dark hair and a gold bracelet; his appearance is not clearly distinctive for a probable identification here.
