A photograph inside a decorated hall with a tented ceiling and tall striped pillars in red, yellow and blue. A man in an orange robe holds a silver tray with offerings and a sprinkling of orange and yellow petals while a figure in a red shawl and red robe with gold necklaces and a red bindi stands before him, one hand raised in blessing. A young man in white kurta on the left holds a small white object and looks on; a man in white dhoti with folded hands stands nearby, and devotees in white sit on blue-and-white mats. A gold and silver throne and ornate altar with lamps appear at the back. The figure in red has long swept-back hair and distinctive gold necklaces, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.

Next to them, a man in an orange robe holds a silver tray with small brass lamps and offerings. On the left, men in white clothes and rudraksha malas stand with palms pressed together in anjali.

A man in a red-orange robe with a long dark wig-like hair and a beaded necklace stands centre right, smiling and placing his hand on the head of an elderly man in white clothes with a pink-and-white shawl, who bows with palms joined. Beside them, a younger man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray with offerings. Other men in white and red shawls stand with folded hands in the background, and a gilded throne-like seat is visible at right.
