A photograph inside a bright room with a gilded ornate throne-like chair in the background. An older bald man with white beard and glasses, wearing an orange saffron shawl over a white kurta and a black vest, is seated and receiving water poured from a steel vessel into a small copper dish held by a man in a blue short-sleeved shirt, in what appears to be a ritual offering. Behind them, a shaven-headed priest in maroon and gold dhoti and shawl, wearing a long gold necklace and rudraksha mala, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Other men in casual shirts stand in the background near a wall with a colourful painted panel.
