A photograph of a ritual scene in an indoor hall with a red curtain and an orange neon sign in the background. In the foreground, a man with grey hair, a moustache, white kurta and a wooden rudraksha mala is raising his hand toward the forehead of a bare-chested man with long dark hair piled up, wearing a pink and white flower garland, gold ornaments and a rudraksha-bead headdress. The bare-chested man has white markings on his chest and arms. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti and shawl with gold necklaces and bangles stands beside a person in a saffron-orange cloth, and several people in white clothing stand in the background. The prominent subject appears to be a blessing or touching gesture during a ritual.
