A photograph in a temple setting with gold-coloured ceremonial objects and a red-draped altar behind. An older bare-chested man with long grey hair, white ash markings on his shoulders and arms, and beaded mala necklaces leans forward with his hands cupped near his face. Facing him, a man in saffron-orange cloth with a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace with a large pendant, and a red tilak holds up an open white book or folder while speaking. Two more saffron-clad men stand beside him, and a bald man in orange cloth with glasses stands at right. The scene appears to be a ceremonial exchange or blessing involving a written document.

The robed figure wears a white garland of flowers, layered rudraksha and gold necklaces, bangles and a white tilak, and holds a folded paper. Beside him, another saffron-robed man with a rudraksha mala gestures toward a brass vessel on an orange cloth. Onlookers in white and orange stand behind, and a young boy in an orange shirt watches. The robed figure has distinctive garland and necklace cues, so he is a person.2012-09-12April 14 20122012-04-14March 04 20132013-03-04June 05 20122012-06-05June 17 20132013-06-17A seated figure with long dark hair swept up, wearing a gold headband of beads, multiple rudraksha-style beaded malas and gold ornaments, a reddish-brown shawl over the shoulders and a pale peach cloth draped over the lap, receives a small printed card from an elderly man in white shirt and glasses who reaches across a low wooden table.
