Photograph of a large temple hall where many shaven-headed men seated on a white marble floor face a raised golden shrine with a seated figure in orange clothing. Most of the seated men are shirtless, wearing white dhotis, orange shawls and rudraksha malas, and some hold books or cloth bags. Flanking the central golden throne are two standing deity murti in green and orange, with a camera on a tripod at right and a large screen with red imagery at left. Red velvet drapery and gold railings frame the hall.
