A photograph of a crowded indoor gathering in which a man with a large swept-back dark hairstyle, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over the body and a rudraksha mala, sits in front of an ornate gold-and-brown throne-like chair. He reaches down to touch or receive a large ornate brass-and-silver bowl that a woman in a white embroidered top, with a yellow flower in her hair and black bangles, holds out to him. A man in white with a rudraksha mala and forehead tilak stands beside the seated figure, while a young man in white and a seated attendant in white look on. Around them, many devotees and visitors stand close together, some wearing orange lanyards.
