A photograph of a ritual in a temple hall. A bearded man with long dreadlocks, wearing a rust-red robe and rudraksha mala, reaches forward with his right hand to touch the forehead of a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti and white shawl, who sits with his eyes closed and wears rudraksha beads. Behind them a silver kalasha-style vessel stands with a small printed card attached, and a golden deity murti is visible. Several other people in red, orange and saffron robes and rudraksha malas sit or stand in the background, including a bare-chested man with mala beads and a person in a yellow-and-white garment. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation.
