A photograph of a ritual in a plain hall with white walls and red curtains. A seated figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a white cloth before a brass plate of grains and a green leaf, with a water bottle nearby. A bearded man in an orange robe stands behind on a raised platform. Seated devotees in white clothes with folded hands face the scene at left, and steel vessels of food sit on the floor in front. A red-and-gold cushioned seat, a garlanded altar with fruit and flowers, and a red banner on the wall complete the setting.
