Photograph of a ritual scene in a small room with patterned wall curtains, a red curtain, and an air conditioner. A man seated on an ornate gold-and-orange velvet throne wears a rudraksha mala and saffron-brown cloth and holds a small vessel. Before him on a striped rug sits a woman in orange robes and a rudraksha mala, with a bowl of white offering and plates of fruit, sweets and bananas. A bare-chested man in orange and a purple cloth attends the offerings. Two standing men in white dhotis with gold borders wear garlands of beads and gold chains, one holding a red bag. A camera operator stands at right. Offerings and oil lamps surround the rug.
