A figure in orange robes with long dark wavy hair, a long beaded necklace of gold-coloured beads and an orange shawl sits on a raised orange-draped seat, smiling and holding flower petals. A man in white clothes bends forward to touch the seated figure's bare feet, which rest on a pink-and-gold cloth and marigold garlands. Behind them, several men in white kurtas wear marigold garlands and orange shawls, with hands folded in greeting, and a woman in a yellow sari stands nearby. A brass bowl of petals and lemons sits on a wooden stand at left, with brass lamps and a shrine behind.2010-07-24A photograph inside a plain white-walled hall with ceiling fans and green-framed cane chairs.

Around them, standing devotees in white dhoti and kurta, one in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala, and a man in a yellow shawl watch. A man at the right in an orange robe with a red and gold garland stands near a red box holding fruit. A figure seated at the right in the foreground wears a yellow shawl and white clothing, with long dark hair, and a tall dark-haired figure in an orange robe stands at the far right.

A seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and a multi-strand gold beaded necklace and holds a small tray of flower petals; a bowl of fruit sits on a wooden table beside her. A man in white kneels with his head bowed to her feet on an orange-and-gold cushion, a marigold garland around his neck. Standing devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, some with white and marigold garlands, fold their hands in namaskar, and one wears an orange shawl. Their hair and clothing show no identifying features beyond this.2010-07-24
