A photograph of a ritual scene inside a temple-like hall. On the right, a long-haired man in a rust-orange cloth and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with his right arm raised, his eyes lowered. Beside the throne, a fan and a garland of red and pink flowers rest on the silver armrest. On the left, a shirtless priest with gold necklaces and a pink headcloth holds a covered silver pot in a white netted sling. Behind them, several women in orange saris and a man in white stand watching, and a gold-carved wall panel fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha beads, an orange robe and a throne, supporting an in_person label.
