A temple-style ritual photograph in an interior hall with a decorated canopy and orange-red floral garlands overhead. A central figure in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered dhoti, a rudraksha mala and a pink-and-white garland stands holding a tray with coconuts and offerings. Beside him a younger man in orange robes and a pink flower garland extends his hands over the tray. On the left a bare-chested priest in a red and gold silk dhoti and white undercloth holds another tray, and at the far right an orange-robed attendant holds an orange cloth. Standing onlookers in white shirts watch in the background, and petals lie scattered on the floor.
