A ritual scene inside a bright hall where several men in orange and saffron dhotis hold long white threads stretched across the frame. On the right, a bearded man wearing a leopard-print headwrap, large gold necklaces, gold bangles and a rust-red shawl, with a flower-decorated crown of hair, smiles while extending a hand toward a seated devotee in the lower foreground. On the left, a shirtless priest in orange cloth wears a white beaded necklace, rudraksha mala and a forehead mark, and holds the threads. Other saffron-robed participants stand behind. Their appearance is consistent with the ornate, ceremonial styling associated with the a person presentation, though the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2017-10-10 +1 copiesOctober 10 20172017-10-10October 10 20172017-10-10 +1 copiesOctober 10 20172017-10-10September 10 20172017-09-10September 10 20172017-09-10 +1 copiesSeptember 17 20172017-09-17 +1 copiesSeptember 17 20172017-09-17 +1 copiesSeptember 17 20172017-09-17 +1 copiesSeptember 17 20172017-09-17October 10 20172017-10-10 +1 copiesOctober 10 20172017-10-10
