A photograph of a ritual in progress on a red-curtained stage. A bare-chested figure with long swept-back dark hair, yellow forehead markings and a rudraksha bead garland sits on an orange cloth and holds a silver staff topped with a white garland and a purple cloth bundle, while reading from a folded white paper. He wears orange cloth draped over the shoulder, bead bracelets and layered necklaces with tiny brass bells. Behind him a seated young man in orange robes with rudraksha beads smiles, and white-clad devotees sit with folded hands. A white pedestal fan stands at right and a pink offering sits on an orange cloth.
