A photograph of a ritual moment in a gilded temple setting. A man with long dark hair swept back, a white tilak on his forehead, bare-shouldered in an orange-red shawl and wearing a multi-strand rudraksha mala and rudraksha earrings, reaches forward and places his hand on the head of a second person. That person has curly dark hair, wears a white kurta with red embroidery and an orange-red shawl over the shoulders, and holds up one hand. Behind them stand a gold kalasha-style finial, a gold deity murti, and a peacock-feather fan on the left. Another hand holds a stick at the right edge.

He reaches forward with his right hand resting on the head of a woman who kneels before him; she wears a white and yellow-green sari and has her hair tied back, and holds a thin stick in her hand. Behind them stands a tall silver staff with an ornamental finial, beside a golden item and a wooden lattice screen with red and blue panels. A peacock-feather fan is at the left edge. The gesture suggests a blessing being given.
