A photograph of an indoor ceremonial gathering. In the centre, a man with long dark hair swept back and a white vertical mark on his forehead wears an orange saffron wrap, a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body, and reaches out to touch the forehead of a bearded man in white clothes who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, a robed man in orange with a shaved head and gold ceremonial necklaces holds a tray with offerings. Several men in white and cream dhotis and shirts stand around, some wearing rudraksha malas, and a white-clad figure on the far right carries items.
