One man on the right, wearing glasses and a wristwatch, reaches in with his hand, while a man in the centre leans in and another on the left extends his arms over the vessel. Behind them, a few more people in white and cream clothes stand near red drapes, woven panels and a white tent ceiling.

Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand before him; the foremost holds a long gold staff and the other holds a red-and-orange bundle with an orange ribbon, while a box rests on a low white stand. Another man in white stands at right with a rudraksha mala, and a person in orange robes is partly visible behind. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure include saffron clothing, a ceremonial gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, so this is a person in person seated in a throne-like seat receiving ceremonial items from attendants.2012-05-12May 12 20122012-05-12 +2 copiesAugust 06 20142014-08-06Photograph of a ritual scene indoors.
