Photograph of a temple ritual setting. A young person in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and a white jasmine garland, with orange and gold beads at the neck, stands at right holding out small silver objects toward an older man in a white shirt. He wears a gold-trimmed mala and is receiving the objects from a woman in a blue and turquoise sari with gold bangles and folded hands in namaste. Two men in saffron-orange shirts with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces stand behind, one holding a tall golden staff. Brass plates with coins, flower garlands and lamps lie on a low table at right, and a person in white bends at the far right.
