In the foreground, a woman in a green sari with a gold border holds a small oil lamp, and beside her a woman in white with a white forehead mark holds a brass lamp. A bare-chested man with rudraksha malas and a white dhoti holds a small lamp, and an older man in white with glasses holds an offering. Behind them, many men in saffron-orange robes sit with palms joined in prayer, and a bearded man in orange holds a microphone. The scene reads as a puja or aarti with lamps being offered.2019-01-01A large seated gathering of devotees with palms pressed together in namaskar, many with white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads.
