A photograph of a ceremonial moment in a tented hall. A man in an orange-red turban, orange-and-maroon robes and a white garland with red flowers reaches out with his bare arm and hand, placing it on the shoulder of a smiling man in a khaki-brown uniform with a small name badge. Behind them a bald man and several women in white and maroon clothes, some wearing rudraksha malas, stand near a brass oil lamp, a gold-colored ceremonial item in the foreground, and a large audience of many people seated in white-curtained surroundings. The orange-robed figure has distinctive turban and garland cues, so this is a person presence, here in person.
