A photograph of an indoor monastic ceremony. A long-haired person in an orange saffron wrap sits on a white-draped chair with a leopard-print cushion, hands together, smiling, beside a round white-covered tray. In front of them, a person in orange robes bows low with forehead to the floor on a white cloth. Standing behind, a person in white dhoti and shirt and another in orange robes observe. A white board stands on a tripod, and a small vase of flowers sits in the lower left. The long-haired seated figure shows visible but not sufficient cues for identification, so the appearance is uncertain.
