A photograph taken at an indoor evening gathering in a blue-walled hall, with a crowd of standing and seated devotees in white clothes and dhotis in the background. In the foreground, a figure in a cream turban and a cream and gold-bordered robe sits on a large orange-upholstered throne-like chair, and a man in a white shirt with a maroon-and-gold shawl bends forward to touch or honour the seated figure's feet while the seated figure's hand rests on the bowing man's head. A small folded white cloth lies on the chair arm, and a child stands at the lower left beside a woman in white. The seated figure has long hair and a yellow-gold shawl draped over the shoulder, consistent with the appearance cues noted for a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
