Photograph inside a gold-accented temple hall showing two ornate gilded thrones with red cushions. On the left, a smiling man with long dark hair and a headband wears orange-saffron robes, a long gold-beaded necklace, and beaded armbands, with white ash marks on his arms; he holds a small white item. On the right, a bald, shaved-head sannyasi in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala and a headband sits on the second throne, holding a small white item and a metal bowl. Partly visible at far left, another orange-robed attendant holds a golden vessel. A saffron flag hangs behind, and a white carved pillar stands at the back.

The central figure wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long gold-beaded garland, a dark headband, white vertical tilak, and red-and-gold armbands, and holds a white cloth in his hands. On the right, an older bare-chested seated priest with a shaved head, rudraksha mala and orange cloth around his waist holds a small offering dish and cup on a tray. At the left edge a standing attendant in saffron robes and gold beads holds a brass vessel. Trays of offerings and a green plastic bag rest at the base of the thrones. The scene is consistent with a Hindu ritual setting.2012-05-11May 13 20122012-05-13 +1 copiesMay 13 20122012-05-13 +1 copiesTwo seated men on ornate gold thrones with red cushions inside a temple hall with marble walls.
