Indoor photo in a marble-walled hall with a wooden floor and gilded throne furniture behind. In the foreground an older bare-chested man with a shaved head and white markings on his forehead and body wears an orange-saffron dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala, his arms raised overhead in a dance-like pose. Beside him a younger man in a saffron dhoti with gold trim wears a gold ceremonial necklace, rudraksha armband and a rudraksha headband, smiling. Two men in white dhotis and white shawls stand to the right, one with a gold necklace, and a plate of fruit sits on the floor near the throne. Orange flags are visible in the background.

In the foreground an elderly bare-chested man in orange cloth, with a rudraksha mala and vibhuti on his forehead, raises both arms overhead with his hands joined. Beside him a younger man in orange dhoti and shawl wears a flower garland and bangles and stands with palms pressed together. Behind them an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a small oil lamp on a side table. Several other men in orange and white stand in the background. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone.2012-05-14 +1 copiesMay 11 20122012-05-11May 14 20122012-05-14 +3 copiesTwo men in saffron-orange dhotis stand in a marble temple hall beside an ornate gold throne with red cushions.

The man on the left is bare-chested with a rudraksha mala, sandalwood markings on his forehead and arms, and a red-tinted head. The man on the right wears an orange cloth with yellow borders, a garland of gold-coloured beads, bangles on his arms and a tilak with a headband. An orange flag with a deity emblem hangs at the left edge, and a shrine doorway with a kalasha-like niche is behind them. Shelves with small figures stand on the right. Their outfits and the seating suggest a monastic or ceremonial setting, though the image alone does not establish the event.2012-05-11May 13 20122012-05-13
