A standing man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala around his neck and dark swept-back hair presses his palms together in anjali near his face, while several seated devotees in white shirts and kurtas, some with yellow lanyards, sit with hands folded or eyes closed in a hall with white metal scaffolding and a ceiling fan. Appearance-based cues are limited to the rudraksha mala and hair, so identity is uncertain. Approximately six to twenty people are visible, including partially visible figures at the edges.
