A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head wrap, with a gold-toned rudraksha-style mala and a gold pendant hanging at the chest. The figure, facing right, pours liquid from a steel vessel into a small metal cup or vessel on a wooden ledge. Before them on a white cloth sit a silver container, a silver pot with a spout, a steel bowl of pink flower petals, ripe bananas and a small dish with yellow fruit or offering. A flower garland hangs on the wooden wall behind. A second, bearded man in white sits partly visible at left. The arrangement suggests a puja or abhishekam ritual setting.
