A photograph inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and a ceiling fan. A man in an orange saffron robe with a large orange and gold beaded garland and a white-and-red forehead mark stands at centre, with devotees gathered around him. Several women in saris and salwar, one in a green tie-dye sari and another in a red and cream patterned shawl, press their palms together in greeting. Men in white dhotis and orange cloths stand behind them. On the walls behind are framed printed photographs and text panels, and colourful striped pillars with orange tops frame the room. The man in the orange robe appears to be a sannyasi or devotee receiving greetings rather than a clearly recognizable a person, so identity is uncertain.
