A photograph inside a narrow white-walled hall with a red carpet running down the middle. Rows of ornate silver-covered low stools or peethas line both sides, and men and women sit on the floor behind them. On the right, a shaved-headed man in an orange-red robe with a saffron-toned shawl gestures with an outstretched hand toward the seated group. Standing at the far end, several women in white and red saris and men in white dhotis and orange shawls hold their hands together in greeting. Seated visitors on the left wear beige kurtas and orange scarves.
