A standing figure in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a dark rudraksha mala walks down a polished floor through a hall of seated participants. Around him, dozens of seated devotees wear white head bands covering their eyes, many in white dhotis and shirts, some women in sarees and salwars. Orange and gold hanging tassels decorate the upper walls, and a gold-framed arch sits behind them. The reflective floor doubles the orange figure below him.
