A photograph of a devotional gathering under a white canopy with orange draped walls and string lights. In the centre a man with long dark hair wears an orange-brown robe and an orange turban, his hands pressed together in a namaste-like gesture while receiving something from another man. Around him stand several men in orange and saffron robes and turbans, some with hands folded in reverence. On the right a figure in a long saffron shawl holds a silver trishul aloft. Seated devotees in the foreground wear white and light clothing, and a man on the far right holds a camera. A visible deity murti is not clearly shown.
