A photograph of a temple hall where a long-haired figure in saffron and orange cloth, wearing a thick rudraksha mala and gold-toned arm bands, sits on a low seat holding a red fruit in his hand. In front of him, several people in white dhotis and white shirts stand or kneel, one man in a white shirt bending forward to offer a red fruit and a small packet. Behind them, devotees in white and pale shirts watch, and a golden kalasha, a silver staff and a golden throne-like seat are visible. A video camera on a tripod records the scene at right, and a red curtain hangs in the background.
