Night ritual scene beside a bright flame. Two shirtless men with rudraksha mala necklaces and red-brown rudraksha headbands stand in front, with white ash marks on their foreheads. The man at left has a bald head and gold earrings and gold necklace ornaments, and is smiling. The man at right wears a saffron-orange shawl, a gold and silver ceremonial necklace, gold earrings and a swept-back hairstyle; his appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone. Behind them a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl stands near a golden brocade cloth and a flag on a pole. Visible people: about four.

Two men stand at the centre-left in saffron-orange robes with gold necklaces and white-and-red forehead markings; the man at right, in an orange garment with a heavy gold garland and a gold headband, stands with hands folded and eyes lowered. The man at left is bare-chested, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold headband, and holds a small object near the flame. Another man in white clothing with a rudraksha mala stands at the far right edge. A small brass oil lamp and a gold-toned deity figure appear at the edges of the frame.2012-06-05Photo 11732352 +1 copiesJune 05 20122012-06-05 +1 copiesPhoto 11730445 +2 copiesApril 24 20122012-04-24November 26 20142014-11-26April 29 20122012-04-29December 20 20112011-12-20Photo 11732841 +1 copiesNovember 17 20132013-11-17
