A photograph of an indoor hall with a line of devotees greeting a central figure. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange turban with a gold ornament, a saffron-gold wrap, layered gold beaded necklaces and gold bangles, and he extends his hand in blessing as people approach. Devotees in white kurtas and dhotis stand with palms pressed together in namaste, one man wearing a red rudraksha mala, a boy in an orange shirt in front. Metal stanchions line the walkway, and a golden deity murti and a red-curtained stage appear in the background. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
