A photograph of a shaved... no. A man with shoulder-length dark hair kneels on a white cloth with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, bare-chested except for an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and waist, with white vibhuti marks on his forehead and upper arm. Two women in orange saris stand on either side; the one at left holds a brass plate of yellow flowers. Behind them, a floor covered with green leaf mats bears yellow flowers, offerings and small containers. Another person in white sits at the far right.
