Indoor ritual photograph in a hall with a blue screen and sections of hanging orange-and-white decorations. A smiling woman in a white top and pale pink shawl holds a silver tray of small painted figurines, and a saffron-robed man with a long rudraksha mala reaches to touch them. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a gold necklace holds a tray of fruit and a silver plate, and a man on the right in white with a white forehead mark holds a silver plate with a gold ceremonial object. Probable Swamiji (probable): the saffron-robed central figure wears long swept-back hair, a long rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, and is in the central ritual role. Several seated attendees are visible in the background.
