A photograph of a ritual scene in an ashram hall. A man in an orange-brown wrap and a long coral-and-orange flower garland, with his hair swept back and a gold bangle on his wrist, holds a small brass bell in one hand and lifts a thread or petal in the other, releasing it into the air. Behind him stands a second person in saffron robes with a white forehead band and a rudraksha mala, hands joined. Ornate gold-and-flower decorated altar items, a gilded peetha or seat, marigold and rose garlands, a brass kalasha and a small oil lamp fill the foreground, beside a dark red velvet curtain and a white air cooler.
