A photograph of a small indoor gathering on a pink-tiled floor with white walls and a white plastic chair. A man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala sits on a white plastic chair at the right, palms pressed together in namaste. Facing him, several women in saris sit on a green patterned mat and on chairs, hands folded or palms together, including an older woman in a white sari with a gold border. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand and sit at the back. In front, a banana leaf holds offerings including flowers, fruit, sweets and small oil lamps. Newspaper lies on the floor beside the mat. The scene suggests a seated ritual or satsang at a newly opened centre.
