Evening photograph in a crowded temple setting with warm golden lighting. In the centre, a man in an orange turban, orange shawl and layered gold necklace holds a silver tray with a small object on it, while speaking. To his left, a bare-chested, shaved-headed priest with white and red tilak and gold beaded necklace walks ahead. To the right, a shaved-headed man in orange-brown robes and a rudraksha mala holds the other side of the tray. Behind them, devotees and onlookers press close, and hanging gold and green decorations, bells and lamps are visible. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the central man is described by role.
