A seated man in white ritual clothes and a red-orange shawl with printed script kneels while a figure seen from behind, wearing an orange-red turban, a gold-and-orange garment and a large beaded necklace, drapes the shawl over his shoulders. Behind them, several women in white clothes with red lanyards stand with hands pressed in anjali. Gold ceremonial items and a kalasha-like vessel sit at the lower left, and a decorated shrine area with garlands is visible at the back. The figure in the turban is a person by appearance cues (orange turban, beaded necklace, orange-gold clothing), while the shawl-receiving man is a devotee.

In the foreground, a person wearing an orange-red turban, an ornate gold-beaded necklace and an orange-yellow garment with gold bangles leans in and holds the chest-area scarf of a bearded young man in white ritual clothing and an orange-red scarf printed with mantras, with a red tilak on his forehead and a red-and-orange wristband. Behind them, several women in white saris and white tops with red-and-white lanyards stand with hands folded in anjali, and an ornate gold-framed mirror and a decorated table appear at right. The person in the turban has long swept-back hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, which may match the page's description of a person, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.2015-09-11Indoor ceremonial scene in which a figure in a tall orange-red turban, bare-chested with an orange and gold shawl and a thick ornate gold-and-beige beaded necklace, reaches forward to place a red-and-orange shawl around the shoulders of a smiling woman in white. The woman wears a white sari, a red bindi, a wristwatch and a red thread bracelet, and her hands are pressed together. Behind them stand several women in white and cream saris, one with a gold pendant, and a small brass lamp glows on the right against a backdrop of draped red fabric and gold decor. Two people in orange and white appear at the far right. The turbaned figure's ornate necklace and turban suggest a ceremonial role, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2015-09-11A seated figure in a red-orange turban, ornate gold beaded necklace and orange-gold garment is holding out a pink cloth to a standing man in white shirt and white dhoti, wearing glasses, a red-orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. A second woman in white with an orange shawl and lanyard stands behind, with a brass oil lamp and a gold-and-brown decorated altar table in the background, and a fan on the floor. The turbaned figure shows a person cues: ornate gold necklace and orange-gold attire with a turban; the exchange is an appearance-based candidate with unsure certainty.2015-09-11 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copies
