A photograph of a ritual feeding at a temple-style event. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a red-and-gold turban with gold ornaments, a red shawl, gold necklaces and a red-beaded mala, holds a spoon to a baby's mouth. The baby, wearing a white shirt with a small printed emblem and a red bindi, is held by a man in glasses and a rudraksha mala. Behind them, a gold-carved shrine panel and a smiling person in white and gold-bordered cloth are visible. The man in the turban appears to be a person, based on the swept-back hair, turban and ornate gold adornments, and is shown in a presiding role.
