A photograph of a crowded ceremony where several men in white shirts and white dhotis surround a central figure. A man in white holds up a red wooden plaque with a framed portrait and silver-coloured medallion panels, while another man in white reaches to place a garland with colourful beads and white flowers on the head of a younger man at right. Behind them, two men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings stand near a gold-coloured draped backdrop. Several devotees with white tilak markings lean in to watch, and one man at left touches his face with his hand.
