A photograph of a food-serving ritual inside a hall with a blue backdrop and a white-draped table. A man with a bare upper body and a red-and-gold shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala, sits on a red cushioned seat and serves a yellow rice dish from a silver bowl onto banana leaves. Beside him a young child in an orange robe and red shawl, wearing glasses and bangles, also takes food from the bowl. Behind them, several women in orange and red saris and rudraksha malas stand in a line, and a woman in white and gold holds a ladle near a steel pot. The scene suggests a communal meal offering, with food placed on banana leaves on the white table.

A man seated on a silver throne with a silver backrest wears a rust-brown robe, a long rudraksha mala, a gold chain, and a white horizontal forehead mark; his eyes are closed. He holds a handful of yellow food offering toward a large silver bowl heaped with the same yellow prasad, set on a silver stand over a green banana leaf. Two boys in saffron-orange dhotis and turbans stand at left, one with rudraksha malas offering prasad. Two girls in orange sarees sit at right. Painted murals of temple scenes decorate the background. This appears to be a prasad distribution during a ritual. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, a gold necklace and a ceremonial throne, consistent with the page reference.2018-01-08December 20 20152015-12-20 +2 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20 +1 copies
