A photograph of a temple ritual with incense smoke drifting in the background. A man with a long braid and a leopard-print headband, wearing a rust-red robe, multiple gold necklaces, gold bangles and hoop earrings, with a red tilak on his forehead, smiles with eyes closed while holding a small white paper slip over the head of a kneeling man. The kneeling man wears a white shirt and has his palms pressed together in namaskar. Orange-robed figures and a lamp appear softly out of focus behind them. The setting appears to be a sacred ritual or blessing exchange.
