A photograph of a blessing ritual in a temple-like hall with a gold-covered shrine and brass lamp stands. A bare-shouldered figure in rust-red and yellow robes with a long gold-beaded necklace presses both palms to the forehead of a man in a white shirt and white trousers who holds his hands together in namaste. The man wears an orange lanyard and has a yellow mark on his forehead. Behind them, women in orange and white lanyards and a woman in green sari look on, and a red cloth backdrop hangs behind. Aside from the one figure in rust and yellow robes with a long gold-beaded necklace, the people are shown without clear distinguishing features.
