A photo of a fire ritual. Behind the fire, a man with long dark hair wound into a high bun and a red tilak on his forehead stands with palms pressed together in prayer. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and rudraksha bracelets, and a rust-brown garment. Beside him stands a bare-chested man in an orange cloth with a white shawl and beaded necklaces, also in anjali mudra. Behind them a woman in a purple sari stands among marigold garlands and a decorated golden arch.
