A photograph of a seated ritual in a plain room with pale blue walls and barred windows. A figure in a saffron-orange robe and dark red shawl sits in an orange-cushioned chair, holding a silver trident, wearing a rudraksha mala and a large garland of white flowers, red roses and yellow beads. A framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure with garlands stands on a side table with a small oil lamp and offerings, and brass vessels sit on the floor. Two young men with shaved heads stand behind in white and orange robes, one holding a fan-like object; a shaved-headed man in red and gold cloth sits cross-legged on the floor, with a few seated women and devotees in the foreground.
