A photograph inside a hall with a red curtain stage, a deity altar with flower garlands, and a projector screen. A smiling man in a dark red-brown dhoti-style wrap, with a red-brown turban topped by a gold ornament, gold necklaces and gold armbands, places his hand on the head of a devotee who bows with palms joined. The devotee wears a light striped shirt and a white dhoti with gold bangles. Behind them, people in saffron-orange robes stand in a line, and another person in white stands at left. The central figure, who has a cue matching the presentation of a bare-shouldered, gold-adorned a person, is giving a blessing (padapuja-style touch) to a devotee. Nearby, attendees in white and orange clothes are visible.
