A photograph of an indoor home ritual. A man with long dark hair, a red and yellow floral garland and a rudraksha-style necklace sits in a brown robe on a cushioned seat, raising a tall silver staff with a finial. Seated on a patterned rug, a woman in a white sari with a red bindi holds a flame lamp while a small child in a white and red outfit and another child in yellow look on. A young man in an orange robe and beads kneels nearby. In the background a monk in orange and red holds a camera, a seated woman in yellow sari with orange beads watches, and a brass plate of flowers sits on a white-draped table. Framed pictures hang on the walls.
