A photograph of a hall where many seated devotees wear white head blindfolds, with a man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala walking barefoot across a reflective polished floor at centre. Several seated participants wear white dhotis and kurtas, some in striped or yellow shirts. The reflection of the orange-robed figure shows clearly in the floor. Behind them hang orange and white decorative drapes, and a golden ornamental frame surrounds a doorway. The watermarked centre figure has long dark hair and a mala draped at his neck; his appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
