A photograph of a ritual exchange in a gold-decorated hall. A man with long dreadlocked hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a white and gold flower garland, gold armlets and bangles, and a saffron-orange wrap sits on a gold throne-like seat, holding a silver trident-topped staff and extending his hand toward a young woman. She wears a white and gold-bordered saree, a gold necklace with beaded strands, and a flower in her hair, and she smiles while bowing with hands clasped. Behind them a smiling woman in a maroon and orange saree and rudraksha mala holds folded orange cloth, and a standing figure in saffron robes is partly visible. Brass oil lamps and a white fan stand nearby.
