A photograph of a ritual scene in front of an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, red and white flowers. A bare-chested figure with long swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange garment, multiple rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, sits and guides a child's hand into a silver plate of white grain or rice. Beside them a man in a light green shirt and khaki trousers leans in and holds the child's shoulder. A second saffron-clad attendant stands at the right, facing the plate. The child wears a red and white striped top with a blue cartoon print. Brass and gold ornaments and a marigold-decorated altar surround the group.
