A photograph of a seated devotional gathering in an indoor hall with red-and-cream walls and a wooden pillar. In the foreground, a square brick enclosure with a lit oil lamp sits on the floor, its edges dusted with white powder, surrounded by brass vessels and scattered flower petals. A woman in a blue sari holds a tambourine-like hand cymbal, and women in saris sit nearby. At the right, men in white dhotis and shirts sit on the floor; one plays a small hand drum and another a harmonium with a microphone stand. Many other devotees in white clothes sit along the walls with hands pressed together in prayer. A framed picture hangs on the back wall.
