A photograph of a devotional gathering on a raised, colourfully painted platform with lotus-shaped pillars and a painted frieze above. A seated figure in an orange-saffron garment with a white flower garland sits with palms pressed together in namaste before a large ornate gold throne-back framed by a white drape. Around him kneel and sit several devotees: women in pink, orange, red, yellow and magenta saris and men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with folded hands. Brass plates, a small kalasha-style vessel, a water bottle and a tray of offerings lie on the striped floor cloth in front. The scene suggests a pada puja offering to a seated teacher. A framed picture row hangs on the back wall. A visible a person copyright line sits on the lower right.
