A photograph of a devotional gathering in an ornate hall with golden-carved gilt thrones upholstered in deep red. A bald, elderly seated figure in orange robes and a rudraksha-style mala leans forward to receive an offering from a man in an orange shirt and dark trousers who stands barefoot on a striped red rug. Beside them a seated figure in orange garments holds a white cloth. Standing and kneeling devotees in white clothes line the background near a large white cooler-style unit with a grille, while white-pillared architecture rises behind.
