He wears a white shirt and a long rudraksha mala with a white cord around his neck, and a copper bangle on his wrist.

He wears a red shawl printed with dark script and a white-and-striped garment, and a mala-like bead bracelet with yellow and purple beads. He lifts a small clear bottle or vessel toward his forehead, as if applying liquid. Other seated participants in red shawls and white cloth are partly visible at the edges, with a white patterned garment at the right.

He wears a white cloth wrap over bare shoulders, an orange-red shawl, and a long rudraksha mala around his neck. Behind him, a bald man in a white shirt raises his arm, and a dark-haired person is at the right edge, with a blurred woman in the foreground. The setting is an indoor hall with a colourful striped mat. The seated man's clothing and rudraksha are visible cues, but his appearance does not clearly establish a person, so this is unsure.2017-03-17 +1 copiesPhotograph of devotees seated in a hall during a ritual.
