A photograph inside a plain cream-walled room with a wooden door and an arched doorway to a kitchen with steel vessels. A man in an orange turban, orange robe and a long white-and-green flower garland stands centre, holding a small bell, with long hair falling to his shoulders. He faces a second man in orange robes with a maroon-edged shawl who holds a brass plate with a glass jar, apparently for a ritual offering. A child in a patterned top stands near the door, a cameraman with a video camera is at right, and another person in orange is partly visible at lower left.
