A photograph of a ritual exchange on a stage with a red-carpeted platform. A seated man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped up on his head, rudraksha beads on his head and neck, and a maroon-rust wrap draped over his shoulder reaches out and rests his hand on the bare shoulder of a bare-chested man kneeling in front of him, who holds his palms together in anjali and wears a white dhoti and a sacred thread. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari with rudraksha malas stands near robed attendants in white and cream. A person in the a person role appears as the seated figure, identified by his dreadlocks, rudraksha malas and maroon-saffron garment, while the kneeling man receives blessing. The setting suggests a blessing or initiation performed in a temple-style stage set.
