A photograph inside a plain room with a white cloth backdrop decorated with scattered red flower petals and white jasmine garlands. A man seated on an orange-draped chair wears a red-and-white flower garland, a yellow-bead garland, a rudraksha mala and a dark red shawl, and holds a silver trident; he appears to be the a person by appearance cues of ornate garlands, rudraksha and trident seating. A standing young man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border and rudraksha mala gestures with one hand while holding a small ritual implement. Behind them, two saffron-robed shaved-head boys stand, and women in saris and a girl with jasmine in her hair sit in the foreground, with a man's head partly visible at lower left. A white jasmine kolam-style floral design is drawn on the wall at right.
