On the right, a person with long swept-back dark hair, a red and red-orange bordered cloth and a thick red flower garland stands barefoot, smiling as they offer a brass vessel to an elderly man with white hair and a white beard. The elderly man wears a saffron-orange robe and a saffron shawl and places his hands together over his chest. Behind them, men in white and yellow ritual dress with tilak markings and beaded necklaces stand near a glittering golden shrine, and a red-cloth-covered table holds offerings. The mood is a devotional ritual exchange.2016-01-03
