A standing figure in a saffron-yellow dhoti-style garment with a leopard-print shawl draped over the shoulders and a long dark rudraksha mala hangs at the chest, hands folded, looking up toward the right. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders. Behind him, a crowd of devotees stands in an open orange-walled hall under a corrugated roof: women in white and cream saris with orange and saffron shawls, some with palms joined in anjali, one woman in a yellow-and-white sari holding a bag. A red carpet runs along the floor, a metal railing and a camera on a tripod stand at right, and a wall sign reads about more than 20,000 people in 247 countries.
