A photograph inside a large hall with pink-tinted lighting and a dark red curtain backdrop. A man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a rust-red dhoti and shawl with a gold-toned waist sash and a gold necklace, walks down a striped rug runner between two rows of people. On the left, several women in white saris with red borders press their palms together in greeting. On the right, a line of robed sannyasis in saffron and rust-red garments stand with joined hands beside long rows of banana-leaf offerings laid with food and small metal cups. Behind them, more people in white stand in the hall. Nearby, a steel tray sits on the floor, consistent with a naivedyam offering.
