A photograph of a temple-style open pavilion with a corrugated roof. On the left, a carved stone shrine holds a deity murti decorated with garlands and orange and gold drapes, flanked by brass oil lamps. At the right, a standing man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands on a red carpet facing a row of people in white and orange clothing, some holding yellow fabric. A wooden lectern or box stands on the red carpet, and a tripod-mounted camera is at the right edge. Four to six people are visible, and the robed man in the center-right is the focal figure. No visible shaved-head or long-haired appearance cues are sufficient for a confident identification, so the figure is described by role only.
