A photograph of a crowded indoor hall during a blessing. A man in a maroon and orange turban, wearing a maroon shawl draped over a bare shoulder, several garlands of white flowers and red-pink blossoms, and gold bangles, smiles while extending his right hand over the head of a devotee. Two devotees in white shirts bend forward with palms pressed together, one with hands folded near his chest. Behind them, other people stand among the crowd. A projection screen and a backdrop reading Bhagavat Gita are visible, along with gold ritual items on a table at right and a framed image on the left wall. A person with shaved head and glasses in white is partly visible at the right edge.
