A photograph of a ritual exchange on a stage with a gold-trimmed throne. A seated figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, orange and yellow robes, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and bracelets; he smiles and extends his hands to receive an offering. Another kneeling man in orange and yellow with a rudraksha mala and a shaved head sits in the centre, watching. On the right, a man in white with yellow tilak and a rudraksha mala leans forward to hand over a small object. Brass oil lamps stand behind them and attendants in orange and white with gold necklaces stand at the back. Only the seated central figure's appearance is distinctive, but the page does not place a person at this event, so identity is unsure.
