A photo of an indoor ritual with a man in a rust-orange wrapped turban and orange-brown shawl, bare-chested with a gold-trimmed cloth and multiple beaded malas, extending his right arm to press his palm onto the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red-beaded mala. The recipient has his hands raised in a respectful gesture. Behind them, a seated man in white with dark rudraksha-style beads watches, a white-clad man stands at right, and an older man in a white shirt with a name badge observes. Red draped seating, maroon curtains and a pedestal fan fill the room. The orange-turbaned figure appears to be a person by visible turban, shawl and bead cues, shown in the act of blessing the recipient.
