A photograph of a ceremonial outdoor rite beneath a large banyan-like tree with hanging garlands of yellow, purple and white flowers. In the foreground a bearded man in an orange-red turban and a dark bindi raises his right hand in blessing, wearing a heavy gold and white flower garland, gold bangles and a rudraksha-style bead necklace. Beside him stands a younger man with long swept-back hair, a red-brown bead mala and gold chain garlands, a red tilak on his forehead and a gold necklace. An orange-robed attendant with a rudraksha mala and earphones stands at left, and other devotees stand behind. A tall silver-and-gold ceremonial staff rises at top.
