Two men stand facing each other before a temple shrine arch lit with warm bulbs. The man on the left is older, bare-chested with a saffron dhoti and a long white flower garland, with a small gold bracelet and gold ring. The younger man on the right wears a gold crown-like headband, a saffron shawl, a long white and red flower garland, and gold bangles. Behind them is an ornate gold and silver deity shrine with pink flower offerings, a small murti, a kalasha-like gold pot and a brass lamp stand. The setting suggests a temple puja or welcome ceremony.

Two men stand in a temple shrine before a gold-and-silver altar with a small gold deity murti and pink flowers. The man on the left, bare-chested with a saffron-orange dhoti, wears a long white-and-red flower garland, a gold chain, an orange shawl draped across his shoulder, and a white vibhuti line with a red mark on his forehead; his hands rest on the stone counter. The man on the right, in orange clothes with gold trim and a flower garland, leans toward the altar and holds a small object. Arched white stone framing and a row of warm lights surround the shrine. The second figure's appearance is uncertain, and the page places a person at this event, so the left figure is a possible candidate, though his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm.2012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29Two men in saffron and orange dhotis stand before an ornate shrine with a white arched niche lit by a row of warm lights.
