Two seated priests in orange saffron robes perform a ritual on a white tiled floor before a deep red curtain. The nearer priest, with shaved head, white tilak on forehead and white sandal markings on his arms, wears a long dark rudraksha mala and holds his hands together in a mudra over a small brass offering setup. Incense smoke rises from sticks at right. Before him on an orange cloth are a brass kalasha-style cup, a banana, flower petals, a small brass lamp and a metal box. A second priest in similar orange robes sits behind him with hands near the offerings.
