Devotees seated on orange-draped floor mats at a religious gathering, some in saffron and orange robes and others in dark clothing behind a white barrier. In the center, a woman in a rust-red turban with a gold crescent ornament and a red-brown garment sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling, wearing heavy gold necklaces and bangles. Beside her, a bearded man in orange shawl and an older woman in orange sit in prayer posture. On the right, a person in an orange headscarf with rudraksha mala and a tilak sits with eyes closed. A small brass vessel and folded towels rest on a low wooden table at left, with a figure in orange in the foreground edge. Lamps and lights glow in the background.

In the foreground a bald man with white sacred ash on his forehead and palms pressed together sits in saffron robes, with a bearded elder in saffron beside him and a close-up of another older man with yellow-painted forehead and white beard. Behind them a woman in a maroon turban and red-and-gold sari with large gold garland smiles with hands folded, and a man in a white turban and orange shawl sits among devotees. No one in the image has a visible crown, long swept-back hair, or ornate ceremonial gold necklace marking them as a distinctive candidate, so no appearance-based identification is made. The people are seated, hands folded in prayer and devotion.2015-01-13September 12 20152015-09-12
