A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees, many bare-chested men with white ash and tilak marks, and women in white saris. In the centre, a man with swept-back hair and a long ornate rudraksha mala wears a saffron-and-gold wrap and stands behind a metal barrier chain, with a standing man in white dhoti and shawl beside him. Two men in saffron-and-white garments with rudraksha malas stand at right near the barrier, and a man in white with glasses stands at far right. Gold pillars and red-lit walls frame the background.

Attendants in saffron-orange and red-brown robes walk beside him, and bare-chested men in white dhotis stand along the aisle at right.

At centre, a smiling person with a tall dark swept-back hairstyle wears a rust-red garment with a gold-bordered wrap and a large beaded mala; a dark-red-robed woman with a rudraksha mala walks beside them holding a microphone. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shawls with gold borders stand with hands folded, one bare-chested man with a sacred thread. The central figure's dress and hairstyle are distinctive, giving a probable identification of a person in person as the procession-like walk passes through the line; the other figures are devotees and attendants. Blurred foreground heads fill the frame edges.2016-01-02December 22 20152015-12-22May 22 20162016-05-22
