A photograph of a ritual scene inside a temple hall. A man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing an orange-brown robe and a long rudraksha mala, sits on the right holding a white thread or cord that he places against the head of an elderly bald-headed man in white clothing with a bead garland. Two shirtless men in orange cloth on the left, one with a braided orange sash, attend the rite. A multicolored umbrella with floral patterns and a silver throne-like seat appear behind. The image shows a blessing or ritual tying of a sacred thread.
