A photograph of two seated men on red and gold ornate thrones in front of a patterned curtain. The man on the left wears an orange robe and a red and yellow flower garland, bending forward and reaching toward a small metal bowl. The man on the right, bare-chested with white markings on his forehead and arms, wears a long rudraksha-style bead necklace with gold beads, a red cloth draped over his shoulder, and a maroon wrap, and holds out his hands over the bowl. The setting appears to be a ritual or ceremonial exchange.
