A photograph of a ritual food offering. A man with long dreadlocks and a vibhuti mark on his forehead sits on a gold throne, wearing a rust-orange cloth over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala. He smiles while mixing food with his hands from a large ornate silver bowl set on a banana leaf. A young woman in a red sari with a yellow tilak and flower in her hair holds cupped hands toward food in a small brass dish. A woman in a white sari and white head cover serves food from a tray, and a cameraman in white stands behind. Brass lamps and an orange cloth stand in the background.
