A bright hall with pale pink walls and large windows holds a seated audience of white-clad devotees. In the foreground a bald man in an orange saffron robe with red border holds a steel bowl, offering or distributing something to a smiling young woman in a light blue kurta with a rudraksha mala. Several girls in white and pink tops crowd around, and a red-haired young woman in a light blue top and red trousers laughs at right. Some attendees wear lanyards and garlands. A metal railing is visible at the right edge.

A photograph of a large hall with pale pink walls and tall windows, filled with a seated crowd of people in white clothes. In the foreground a bald man in an orange saffron robe with a red-and-maroon shawl stands holding a steel bowl of flower petals, offering them to a group of smiling girls and young women. One young woman in a light blue dress wears a red and beaded necklace. A young woman with reddish hair in a turquoise top and red skirt stands at the right edge. The bald man in saffron is a person by appearance cues: shaved head, saffron robes and a distinctive draped shawl, but the identification is uncertain, so he is described by role as a saffron-robed man distributing petals. Around 40 people are visible in the room.

A photograph inside a hall where a large seated audience, mostly men and some women in white clothes with lanyards, sits on orange mats. In the foreground a shaved-headed monk in a saffron-orange robe holds a metal bowl and gives prasad to a young girl in a yellow dress and white leggings. A woman in white with an orange shawl, hands pressed together, bows toward the girl, and another girl in a light-blue top and red skirt stands nearby. A white curtain and orange cushions frame the room. The monk's appearance does not clearly match the candidate cues, so he is described by role only.
