A photo of a ritual offering at a temple-like hall. On the left, a person in an orange-red turban, rust-orange robe and a green shawl with gold border holds out bananas over a wooden tray of bananas, jaggery-like sweets and rudraksha beads, while smiling. Several devotees stand with palms pressed together in namaskar: a white-clad man in a white dhoti and shirt bows at the centre, women in cream and white saris stand behind him, and a man in a white shirt with a brown rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. Behind them is a decorated deity murti with gold jewellery and a purple cloth, flanked by potted green plants.
