A photograph of a mass event in a covered outdoor venue with blue-green walls, hanging green foliage and a row of red plastic chairs in the foreground. At centre, a man in an orange saffron shawl and orange turban, with a rudraksha mala and a long garland of white and multicoloured flowers, stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Around him, men in white dhoti-shirts and women in sarees, several with hands folded, greet him. A man in white at left stands with hands clasped. A pink cloth and an orange-draped table are at the edges. Whether the saffron-clad figure is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so only roles are given.
