On the right, a bare-chested man with his hair in a bun wears a red and gold-bordered shawl over his body and a rudraksha mala around his neck, facing left with his head slightly bowed. On the left, a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing and rudraksha beads kneels with palms pressed together in namaskar, his head bowed toward him. Behind them, a man in white kneels holding a woven basket or tray, and a person with a tripod-mounted camera and other onlookers stand in the background beside a red curtain. The right-hand figure has distinctive adornments and a red shawl, but his face and appearance are not clearly enough established to identify him as a person, so his role is described as the person being honoured.2011-09-10January 23 20132013-01-23June 14 20132013-06-14June 02 20132013-06-02April 23 20152015-04-23April 17 20142014-04-17A photograph of a devotional ritual indoors with several people standing close together.
