A ceremonial photograph in which an elderly bearded man with long grey hair, bare-chested and wearing a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, reaches forward with his hands over a bowl while a smiling woman with a red bindi and yellow-and-white garland sits before him. Behind them, several men in saffron and orange robes, some wearing turbans and rudraksha malas, stand in a crowd, and a hand extends a green vessel with leaves toward the group. The foreground is blurred with orange turbans and a white-clad figure, and a metal tray is held overhead at the top.

A woman in a dark brown-orange robe with a yellow marigold garland sits beside them, eyes lowered. Behind them, saffron-robed men in orange and yellow turbans and white clothes sit in the background, some wearing lanyards. The scene appears to be an abhishekam or ritual bathing with water. Several other people watch closely.2015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13
