Photograph of a devotional gathering in a gilded hall with ornate golden carvings. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a red and golden throne, smiling and reaching out with a hand. Two shaven-headed monks in orange stand beside him; one holds a tray of fruit and another holds a plate, while a seated devotee in orange leans forward to offer something. Several people in white and orange clothing, a man in a gold-bordered shirt on the left, and a child in white watch from the front. Fruit, flowers and a brass vessel rest on the throne steps, with a bright red cushion and tiger-striped fabric draped over the seat.
