A photograph inside a warmly lit orange-and-red tent at a religious gathering. A smiling man with a white tripundra on his forehead, wearing a saffron robe and heavy gold beaded necklaces, reaches out to touch the face of an older man in a brown-and-white striped vest and white shirt, who bends forward attentively. Around them, a bald man in saffron and a shaven-headed man in orange robes sit near a gold-trimmed throne and a golden palanquin-like seat. Men in white dhotis wear rudraksha malas, and a seated attendant in saffron with gold necklaces sits at the right foreground. A deity murti draped in red and white flower garlands stands at the upper right, beside a ceremonial staff. Hanging tassels and gold ornaments decorate the tent.
