Nearby, a shaved-headed man in orange cloth and a white-clad man wearing a rudraksha mala and gold-bordered dhoti stand on a red carpet under a red tent. Women in cream and white saris with red-bordered shawls stand in the background, and a stack of printed booklets lies on the gold throne arm. The scene reads as a darshan line inside a tent, with a gold lion-headed armrest in the foreground.2016-05-02May 31 20152015-05-31Photo of a crowded indoor event on a red carpet at a festival tent.
