A printed graphic page titled "MUDRĀS IN VEDIC RITUALS" with an explanatory paragraph and a grid of photographs showing hand gestures. Panels show hands with rudraksha malas and white markings, one person in orange robes performing a mudra over a purple cloth, and hands over a red cloth with a puja tray holding flowers, kumkum, and small offerings. The large right panel shows two open palms with rudraksha bracelets. A caption reads that mudras are used to cleanse and invoke divine consciousness in the acharya before Vedic rituals. Several close-up hand photos show no faces. The page is a graphic with no clearly identifiable a person depicted.
