A central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala walks down a red carpet between them; he has a shaved head and a red tilak. Devotees on both sides wear white garments, some with yellow shawls. Brass plates and small lamps sit on mats along the floor, and tall decorated pillars with blue, red and yellow patterns line the hall. Several people wear white dhotis, and a photo panel and signage hang on the left wall.2010-10-06October 30 20102010-10-30November 03 20102010-11-03A photograph of a covered outdoor ceremony area with a red carpet runner and bamboo-style mats.
