A photograph of a seated devotional gathering in an ornate room with gold-leaf thrones. In the foreground, a man in saffron robes with a bearded face and tilak on his forehead sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, holding a book or palm-leaf document. Beside him, a man in dark maroon robes with a long rudraksha-style mala and a leopard-print cushion extends his hand toward the seated man. Behind them, a bald man in glasses in maroon and a man in white dhoti with a garland stand near a framed painted panel. A man in saffron robes with a garland stands in the background. A gold kalasha-style vessel and books sit on a low table in front. Several people are visible in the background wearing saffron and white.
