A photograph of a shaved-headed man in a red sleeveless top and orange shawl, reaching out to receive a bundle of pale green leaves and a dish of food from a woman in a green and gold sari. Behind them, a man in a striped shirt and a man in white shirt wearing red beaded malas watch closely, with more people standing in the dim hall. The man in the orange shawl has a distinctive topknot-like hair arrangement, but the cues are insufficient to establish identity, so he is described by role as a participant receiving the offering.
