A photograph of a ceremony in a pillared hall with golden arches and ornate gilded thrones. Two seated saffron-robed figures sit on the right: one bare-chested with a tilak and a large red-and-gold throne, the other in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold-trimmed cloth, holding a white bundle. A woman in white sari with flower garland kneels on a striped rug, extending her hand to a seated sadhu. A young girl in a red dress and a boy in a white shirt stand nearby, while several men in white shirts and khaki trousers and a few onlookers stand in the background. A cooler stands between them.
