A photograph of a ritual scene on a dimly lit stage with red lighting. In the foreground a young man in white shirt and trousers, wearing a rudraksha mala and a beaded bracelet, stands with eyes closed, one hand raised and the other touching the forehead of a second man at left, who has long wet curly hair, a dark tilak-like marking on his face and a dark cloth on his hand. Behind them stands a tall ornate ritual staff with brass fittings and a tassel, and peacock-feather fans with red and brass fittings occupy the right side. Several more figures stand in the blurred background.
