A photograph of a seated ritual scene in a temple hall. A man in a red-brown robe with gold necklaces, gold armbands and a white horizontal tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver throne with a red cushion, smiling as he holds white threads. A woman in white with a purple hair tie leans forward toward him. Around them, several men in saffron-orange cloth stand or kneel, some with white ash markings and rudraksha malas; one stands holding white strands. A silver lion-shaped stand and a gold deity shrine appear behind. The man on the throne cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.
