Outdoor group photo on a hilltop terrace with a misty volcanic mountain and valley behind. A man in orange-red robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne, hands raised in greeting, on an orange cloth mat. Around him stand and kneel devotees in white kurtas and white dresses with red and orange rudraksha malas and event lanyards. Two tall ceremonial trident staffs and two saffron banners with a red-and-gold emblem frame the scene, and one woman wears a red headwrap. A few people wear striped or blue shirts, and one woman in a gray sweater stands at the edge.
