A photograph of a temple-style setting with a richly gilded, ornate backdrop. A bare-chested priest in an orange-red dhoti stands at center, facing a woman in a green silk sari with gold border who bows forward with her hands folded. A man in a white shirt stands beside her and a young attendant in white stands at left near the gilded wall. The woman appears to be receiving or offering something, with a white paper or card between the hands, in what looks like a blessing or darshan exchange. The priest is adorned with a bead necklace and gold ornaments, and the setting resembles a temple hall.
