A photograph of a large hall with red draped curtains and a stage holding a golden-ornamented deity murti of Shiva with blue skin and multiple arms, seated beside a figure on a golden throne. Many men stand in the foreground with bare upper bodies, white dhotis and orange or red cloth draped over their shoulders, some wearing rudraksha malas, facing the stage. Other attendees in colourful saris and kurtas watch from the back, and a camera operator stands near the stage. The overall scene is a ritual gathering in an ashram-style hall.
