The people are standing in an open tent setting with a camera visible at upper right.2015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13Outdoor ritual scene with a man in an orange turban and red-and-blue flower garland placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee whose eyes are covered by a white cloth. The devotee wears an orange-gold dhoti with a gold border, rudraksha malas and bangles, and presses his palms together. Another man in an orange-and-maroon robe with rudraksha beads stands at left holding the devotee's arm. Behind them, more saffron-robed devotees and a bowl stand near palm trees and a tall banner.
