A photograph of a seated man in rust-red sannyasi robes, wearing a leopard-print headband, a rudraksha mala across his chest and a gold necklace, raising his right palm in blessing before an ornate silver throne with repoussé floral and angel motifs. Two attendants stand at left in orange and white garments, one with a white cloth tied at the head and bare-armed with white paint on the upper arms, facing the seated man. Gold decorative figures appear at right. Based on appearance cues including the headband, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, the seated man is a person in an attended ritual setting.

He smiles and extends his right hand. Around him, women in orange saris with white forehead markings hold white threads and guide them, and a man in the lower left leans forward with his head bowed while also holding a white thread. The scene appears to be a ritual performed on a stage.2017-12-10
