A photograph of a lively devotional gathering inside a tented hall with a blue backdrop and decorative pillars. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and bare-chested with a shawl, stands facing away and holds a long golden staff. Around them, devotees in orange and saffron garments with maroon borders, and others in white kurtas and saris, raise their arms and clap. A small child in pink and a toddler in white stand among the crowd. Petals are scattered on the white floor.
