A photograph of an indoor ritual in a tiled room with a window of ornate grille behind. A seated figure on the left wears a red and white turban-style headdress, a saffron and orange robe, a pink and white flower garland with gold-toned beads, and bangles, and holds a tall silver ritual rod or stand. Several young men in saffron and orange robes with white forehead markings sit or stand around her. In the foreground, a seated man in white kurta with folded hands and a red-orange garland performs a flame ritual, holding a lit lamp or camphor flame, while a woman in a cream sari with a white flower in her hair offers a flame to a floral arrangement on the floor. Other devotees in white and blue sit with folded hands along the right edge, and more people stand in white in the background. Marigold and rose petals are scattered on the floor. The figure on the left is a candidate for a person based on her distinctive headdress, saffron robe and garlands, but her appearance is not certain enough to confirm.
