Photograph of a crowded indoor hall with devotees pressing forward. At the centre, a man in orange-saffron robes wears a dark rudraksha-style headband with a long swept-back hair knot, a thick white jasmine garland, and a beaded necklace and bracelets; he holds a folded white slip of paper and reaches toward a devotee. Beside him, a shaven-headed man in saffron robes with a gold-toned chain stands close. Surrounding people in white shirts and saris, some with white and orange clothing, look on with folded hands. A red-lined box with white flowers sits in the lower right foreground. Pillars with colourful patterns line the background wall.
