A photo of a ritual scene indoors. In the foreground, a bare-chested sannyasi with long matted dreadlocks, a red-orange braided headband and rudraksha mala stands with his back to the camera, pressing his hand on the forehead of a grey-haired man in white ritual cloth with rudraksha malas and red bracelets, who has his eyes closed and palms raised. Beside them, another devotee in orange holds a small white card near the first man's head. Around them are other people in orange and red garments, a framed picture sits at lower right, and a blurred background shows more attendees.
