A photograph of a long row of seated monastic disciples in saffron-orange robes, many with white vibhuti markings on their foreheads and arms and rudraksha malas around their necks, sitting cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaskar. In front of them a long white cloth runs down the floor holding banana leaf plates of food, steel tumblers and cups. A microphone is held up at left, and a large screen behind shows more saffron-clad figures. A sign reads Rudrabhishekam Shri Sarvashila Lingam. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues, so no candidate is marked.
