Night-time photo of devotees greeting a seated figure in a dark red-brown robe with gold trim and a large red-and-white floral garland, raising hands in namaskar. The seated person wears a tall black turban, gold earrings and rings, and a rudraksha mala. Beside them, a shaven-headed man in similar saffron robes and a rudraksha mala looks on. Around them, many devotees in white dhotis or kurtas, red shawls and white tilak markings crowd close, several with hands raised and some bowing toward the seated figure's feet. Green string lights glow in the background, and a bright pink flower garland lies near the front. A man in white with a red shawl is at lower right.
