A photograph of a ceremonial exchange at an indoor event. A figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a bare-shouldered, sleeveless red top with an orange shawl draped over one shoulder reaches forward with both hands to receive a fruit-like offering, a large pineapple-shaped item with green leaves, from a woman in a green and gold sari. Behind them, a man in a striped blue shirt with a rudraksha mala watches closely, and a man in a white shirt with a mala holds the offering from the right. Other people in white and cream traditional clothes stand in the background, and a gold-coloured tray with items sits at the lower left. Dark stage-like background. Count visible people: about six.

A photograph of a shaved-headed man in a red sleeveless top and orange shawl, reaching out to receive a bundle of pale green leaves and a dish of food from a woman in a green and gold sari. Behind them, a man in a striped shirt and a man in white shirt wearing red beaded malas watch closely, with more people standing in the dim hall.
