Photograph of a ritual scene in a temple hall with pink walls and framed pictures. A bare-chested devotee with grey hair and rudraksha malas raises both arms overhead while a long-haired, bearded man in an orange-red shawl holds a folded white paper and reaches toward him. A woman in a gold-bordered sari and a man behind them help adjust an orange cloth. Two men in white with rudraksha malas stand at right with hands joined in anjali. Robed figures in orange move in the background, and a maroon curtain hangs behind. A small framed photo and a gold-edged panel are visible at the edges.

A man with his hair tied in a topknot and a long rudraksha mala wears a saffron-orange robe and sits on the floor, one hand raised to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt who holds his palms up in devotion. Behind them a man in a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala stands beside a golden pillar, and a camera operator in a red shirt films from the back. Brass oil lamps stand at the right and a white floor fan is at the rear. Cues on the blessing figure: topknot, saffron robe and rudraksha beads, though his face is not visible enough to confirm identity; the description keeps roles only.2011-09-17July 02 20172017-07-02 +1 copiesSeptember 04 20112011-09-04 +1 copiesJuly 20 20132013-07-20July 30 20172017-07-30 +1 copies
