A photograph of an event before a golden shrine arch with large deity murtis wearing crowns and jewelled ornaments. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala beads, a white dhoti with gold borders and white sacred ash markings on his arm stands at right, tying a black blindfold over the eyes of a young girl in a white polka-dot top who holds an open illustrated booklet. A boy in white stands beside her, and a camera operator with a video camera is at left. The man shows no clear crown or saffron presentation, so his identity is uncertain.
