A photograph of an indoor hall with a long red carpet runner stretching across a raised platform. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a beaded mala around the neck kneels or bows toward the far end of the runner, while a man in white ritual dress sits nearby on the left. Along the right, a large seated group of devotees in white and cream dhotis and saris, some with red and gold trim, sits behind steel railings, with many faces and bindis visible. Gold railings, pink pillars, a wall-mounted screen and white-clad attendants fill the background. The saffron-robed figure's identity is uncertain from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a robed participant.
