A photo of a ritual in a temple-like hall with red curtains and a carved stone pillar. A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a red-brown garment and a thick garland of white and orange flowers, receives a devotee who bends forward with head lowered, touching the seated person's feet. The devotee wears a bare upper body and a cream dhoti with gold border. Another man in a white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha mala stands behind, and a woman in a dark sari holds a red fruit or offering. Flower petals scatter on the floor and a gold ritual vessel sits in the foreground. Padapuja-style reverence is shown.
