A photograph of an indoor gathering with a central figure in a saffron-orange wrap and a matching orange turban, standing barefoot on a pale concrete floor. Around him, several people in white clothing clap and move, including a man in a white shirt with a bead necklace in the foreground and seated figures in white at left. Plastic chairs line the back of the hall. The central figure's appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so he is described by role only as a saffron-clad participant.Indoor gathering in a plain cream-walled hall with recessed ceiling lights and a patterned curtain at right. Many men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and sit closely together, several with hands raised or touching a seated person's head. A man at left holds a microphone and a man with a handheld object stands near the centre. A seated man in a bright orange turban and orange robe with dark prayer beads, smiling, sits at the centre-front.
