Indoor photograph of a devotee receiving a sacred thread or mala tied around his neck. In the foreground a man in a grey crew-neck T-shirt printed with a Brazil graphic of shirtless figures stands with his hands at his chest, looking to the side, with a thin red-orange cord visible at his neck. Behind him a man in a white shirt with a bright orange tilak and red bindi on his forehead ties the cord, wearing a beaded bracelet. Blurred figures in orange and white clothing stand in the background of a wood-panelled hall with pink light at the right edge. No identifiable a person appearance is visible.
