Evening ritual on a raised stage under a draped ceiling, with a very large portrait of a smiling man with long swept-back hair on the left backdrop. A figure seated centrally on a flower-garlanded throne with a golden crown and orange shawl is attended by a seated group in white kurtas and orange shawls, some holding brass plates and offerings. Garlands of white jasmine hang from the stage edge, with colourful striped embroidered banners and red satin fan-shaped ornaments beside them. A man in a cream kurta and brown vest stands at right holding a bell, and another in white kneels at lower centre. Photo appears to be a puja or satsang setting.
