A photograph of a ceremony beside a large copper-coloured ornate pillar or kalasha-style column decorated with red flower garlands and sheaves of grain. A standing man with hair tied back, bare-chested, wears a yellow dhoti with a green and gold border and a gold-beaded necklace, extending one hand toward the column with an open gesture. Beside him a shaven-headed young boy in a white dhoti with yellow border kneels at the base, holding an offering tray. A covered shed, palm trees and orange flowers form the background. The standing man has distinctive visible cues of hair and ornate clothing, but identification is uncertain.
