A photograph of a devotional reception in an open pavilion with an orange-painted wall and a corrugated metal roof. A man in orange robes with long swept-back hair and a dark rudraksha mala stands centre, holding a sheaf of papers and extending his hand in blessing toward a kneeling man in a white shirt who bows with his palms pressed together. Behind them, men in white and light clothing watch and smile. At right, a bald man in orange robes holds a brass and gold ceremonial staff wrapped in an orange cloth. A metal railing runs along the foreground.
