In the centre, a man in a maroon and gold-bordered cloth with a rudraksha mala and a small pendant holds a glass vessel with a crystal-like object and water, while looking down at a laptop on the left. Beside him, a shaven-headed man in maroon and gold garments with a rudraksha mala and a bindi stands near the laptop. Behind them, a bare-chested man with a tilak and a white dhoti with gold border stands against a wooden door. The scene appears to be a satsang-style ritual setup with a laptop on a table.2015-08-28A photograph inside a plain room with a white wall and framed pictures.

The central priest, wearing glasses, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured shawl, holds a brass bell and a brass vessel while a thin smoke rises nearby. A man at left has his palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a rudraksha mala and a red-striped cloth.

The man on the left, in an orange dhoti with a gold border and a long gold necklace of beads, gestures outward with an open palm while smiling, wearing a dark beaded armband and a red-and-black headband. Beside him, an elderly man with a shaved head and white vibhuti markings wears a dark rudraksha mala, a heavy gold pendant necklace, a beaded headband and an orange shawl with gold edging, looking toward the first man.

In the foreground, an older bearded man in orange robes and an orange sweater with a dark rudraksha mala walks beside a man in a dark red-brown dhoti and shawl with gold border, wearing a long rudraksha mala and red tilak, with a matching bead bracelet on his upper arm. Behind them a man in a light blue shirt and grey trousers walks, and another elderly man with white hair and beard is partly visible. On the right stand bronze deity statues with tall crowns and ornaments. The shorter man in red-brown is not clearly recognisable as the a person by appearance, so he is described by role only.2016-01-28
