A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne wearing a leopard-print headband, rust-brown robes, multiple rudraksha malas, bracelets and a gold chain, holding a white thread. Before him a young boy in white dhoti kneels with his head bowed while a woman in orange robes with white stripes on her arms bends forward, touching his head. Another person in orange stands behind, and a woman in orange leans in beside them. The setting is a golden-ornate temple-style hall, consistent with a thread-tying or blessing ritual.
