Behind them, rows of seated participants in maroon and red garments and white clothing sit behind rope barriers, with a few standing figures and an older man in white at the right edge.

Brass puja plates, small brass lamps, kalasha-style vessels, flowers and lit oil lamps are arranged on silver trays in front of them. Behind them, adults in white clothing and saffron robes sit in rows on mats, with a few men wearing red and white shawls. Red drapes and tall white pillars line the back of the hall. The scene reads as a puja or satsang gathering. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible.2013-04-13
