A crowded indoor hall with white walls, ceiling fans and a balcony railing. In the centre, an older man with a shaved head, white tilak markings and a yellow-and-red patterned shawl over a white dhoti smiles and gestures with open hands while wearing a teal bead necklace. Around him stand men in white dhotis, some bare-chested with white sacred threads, and a young man in white with a yellow forehead mark and glasses smiles at the right. In the foreground on the right, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and faces the group. Strings of small lights hang along the wall. The subjects are devotees, priests and attendees rather than a clearly identifiable individual.
