A crowded indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof, where devotees gather around a long-haired man in an orange robe with rudraksha malas and a white forehead marking, who extends his hand in blessing over a devotee's head. Several shaven-headed men in white dhotis and orange garments stand nearby, one with a red mark on his forehead. Devotees in white and striped shirts wait in line, some with hands folded. At the back, a brightly lit altar with a deity murti and red-and-gold decorations is visible. Wall panels with printed text and photographs line the left side.

A long-haired person in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with a rudraksha mala stands at the centre, smiling and gesturing with an extended hand toward a group of devotees. Several men in white shirts and dhotis have their palms pressed together in anjali, one holding a small booklet. Two shaved-headed men in orange shawls stand nearby, and a shaved-headed man in orange is in the lower right foreground.
