A photograph of a ritual scene in a temple-like setting. A seated man in a rust-red robe with a wide gold-toned sash and a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant holds a bundle of leaves and a stick raised above his head, eyes closed, with a dark tilak on his forehead and rudraksha bracelets on his arm. He sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion-head armrests. Beside him, a young assistant in a pink headcloth and striped shawl holds a white mesh basket on a black stand while pouring from a metal vessel. A carved stone pillar and orange cloth hang in the background, and a striped mat covers the floor.
