A photograph of a ritual scene indoors with a pale blue wall, a carved gold-and-red throne chair on the left, and a window with blue frames behind. A bald elderly man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits at lower left, looking toward a seated man in orange robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala. That seated man holds a red-and-gold cloth over a devotee's head while another man in orange stands behind him. Several devotees in white and pink, and a woman in a purple sari with a flower in her hair, bow forward. Green leaves and an offering plate appear at the bottom edge.
