A photograph of a home interior where a group of devotees stands and kneels around a low wooden stand draped with a red-orange cloth and a small brass vessel. A central figure in a deep red-orange dhoti and shawl wears a long garland of yellow and red flowers and a rudraksha-style necklace, and stands with hands joined in front of the stand. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis, women in white saris and a woman in a pink top stand or kneel with hands folded. A shaved-headed man in white with a long necklace stands behind the group, and a man in orange and a man in an orange shawl are near the edges. White garlands hang on tall poles framing the stand, flower arrangements sit on a side table, and a sofa and cabinet are visible at left. Rangoli-like petals and a patterned rug lie on the tiled floor.
