Photograph inside a stone temple hall with weathered grey walls. In the centre, an elderly bald man wears a green and gold shawl over an orange-red dhoti, with white garlands, a rudraksha mala and gold bangle, and white ash marks on his forehead; he holds his hands together in front of him. Beside him, a younger man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl wears a headband, a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant and white forehead markings, and holds his hands clasped. A bald man in orange clothes stands at right holding a small steel cup, and further left a person in orange holds a brass vessel and a gold kalasha-like pot sits on a tray. Small red temple-motif papers lie on the right. Some people stand in the background in white and orange clothes.
