A photograph in a stone temple passage with a worn plaster and stone wall. A bearded man with a tilak on his forehead stands in front of a doorway, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders, a maroon-brown cloth around his waist and a thick multicolour flower garland with yellow, white and red blossoms. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a green and lavender border stands beside him, his hand raised near the man's face in a blessing gesture. On the right, another bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a gold-edged cloth stands near a wooden grid holding rows of small brass bells, with a blue and gold cloth hanging nearby. Blurred camera equipment and onlookers stand in the foreground and background, with yellow flower offerings on a rail at left.
