A night ritual scene at an open-sided shelter beneath a corrugated roof. A long-haired man with a flowing dark mane and a beaded rudraksha mala, wearing a maroon-red robe and a flower garland of white, orange and multicoloured blooms, extends his right arm toward a large blue-skinned deity murti of Kali, with a tongue out, a garland of yellow and magenta marigolds, a skull-like necklace and a raised sword. Behind him stand other men in orange and saffron cloths, one holding a brass offering plate and one with a microphone, while smoke rises from a brass incense stand. A banana plant and a world map poster with the printed text 'Global Nithyananda Sangha' hang behind them. Sequins-like string lights decorate the upper area. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in the maroon robe and garland matches the presentation cues in the frame.
