A photograph of a ceremony in a temple hall decorated with red drapes and golden deity figures. A priest in a saffron-orange turban and reddish-brown dhoti, wearing a rudraksha mala and a large gold ceremonial necklace, holds a folded paper in one hand while placing the other hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. Several men in white shirts stand with palms pressed together in prayer around them, and a woman in white with a long braid stands at the right edge. The priest's features and clothing are consistent with the presentation the page describes, but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the a person value is unsure. Five or more people are visible, so the count is in the 6-20 range.
