In the foreground, several devotees in orange and white attire sit around trays of glass cups, flowers and lit oil lamps. A man in white at lower centre holds a lamp toward the tray, and women in orange saris and head bands sit to the right. Brass bells and a hanging oil lamp hang overhead. The scene shows a ritual arrangement in a room with dark curtains and fairy-light strings.2013-04-10A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-head armrest, speaking to a group.
