Evening event under a large red patterned canopy at an ashram, with a gold-covered throne-like dais decorated with marigold and flower garlands. A standing figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and a rudraksha mala and holds flower petals in both hands, scattering them. Beside him a man in white holds a tray of pink flowers. Four shaved-headed devotees in orange robes sit with their backs to the camera facing the stage. Many seated devotees in white clothes fill the hall, and a golden lion-form seat and brass lamps stand near the dais.
