Photograph of a ceremony inside a room with blue walls and gold-framed red thrones. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and red tilak sits on the right throne, hands resting on his knees, with a bald elderly man in orange robes and beads seated beside him on a red cushion. Behind them an older bare-chested priest in maroon dhoti and rudraksha beads stands near a young man in white dhoti and shawl who receives a blessing. Another bare-chested young man in white and a boy in white stand nearby, and a woman in a pink sari with a flower garland is at the right edge. On the floor a brass plate holds fruit, flowers, a coconut and a kalasha-like vessel, marking a puja offering.
