A bald, elderly man in orange robes walks barefoot across the room, while a woman in an orange sari with a matching orange head covering smiles beside him. Behind them, a bearded man in orange stands near a man in an orange turban holding a booklet, and a man in orange with a folder stands by the door. On the left, a man in a white shirt holds a metal pot, another man in orange stands nearby, and a white-bearded elder in orange sits on the sofa holding printed pamphlets. A cream-clothed hand is visible on the lower left. Seven people are visible, and the ritual role of the moment is unclear; the elder in front wears plain orange robes with no visible crown, malas or other distinctive regalia, so the identity of the bald figure remains uncertain.2008-02-17December 11 20092009-12-11October 29 20082008-10-29December 11 20092009-12-11Indoor room with wood-panelled walls, cream sofa and a green patterned rug.
