A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a wide gold border leans forward to place a red flower garland on an elderly man seated in a row of chairs. The priest wears a rudraksha mala. The elderly man in glasses and white shirt bows his head with hands pressed together, while a red-and-white garland with gold accents drapes over his shoulders and another devotee's lap. Behind them, seated audience members including a woman in a sari look on in a dim hall, indicating a darshan-style reception of guests at a temple gathering.
