A photograph inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel beams. A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, multiple rows of white beaded garlands, and a dark rudraksha mala. He stands at the centre, extending his right hand to touch the head of a devotee in a white shirt, while holding a folded white paper. Behind him, shaved-headed men in white and orange clothing with white forehead markings watch. A person in orange holds a brass tray with an orange cloth at the right edge.
