Two young men with bare upper bodies and white sacred threads face the scene from the left.

A long-haired man in a rust-brown robe with a yellow marigold garland and a rudraksha mala stands before a red-cushioned silver throne chair, bowing with hands raised. Facing him, a priest in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a silver tray with fruit and offerings. Bare-backed young men in white and yellow dhotis stand nearby, and a cameraman and other attendees are in the background. A silver chair with a lion carving and a red stool sit beside them, with a ceremonial umbrella at the upper right.

A bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long brown beaded mala smiles broadly at a bare-chested priest in white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-green border, whose hair is tied in a knot. Behind them, a man in an orange shawl and white dhoti stands near a red velvet-covered wooden seat, and other men in orange and white stand along the wall, with a few seated figures at the left edge. The bearded man has a long swept-back hairstyle and a bearded face, and the seated red velvet chair is empty.2017-02-03Photograph of a seated group of shaven-headed men in orange-red robes and white forehead markings performing a ritual indoors. The foreground man, bare-chested with an orange-and-gold shawl across his shoulder, holds a small brass oil lamp in one hand and a brass bell in the other. Rudraksha malas hang on several men behind him, and white ash stripes mark their arms and chests. Small brass oil lamps and offerings sit on a cloth at lower left, with a water bottle nearby. Warm pinkish walls and gold pillars frame the hall. No clearly identifiable throne or a person cues are visible in the foreground, so the central figure is a priest-like participant rather than a confirmed a person.2017-02-10February 03 20172017-02-03 +1 copiesJuly 29 20172017-07-29 +1 copiesApril 09 20142014-04-09A photograph inside a pale pink hall at a temple-style reception.
