A photograph inside a red and gold canopied shrine tent decorated with blue draped fabric. Under an ornate golden canopy, a large framed portrait of an elderly bearded man with white hair is garlanded with layered marigold, white jasmine and purple flower garlands; the portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person. In front, several saffron-robed sannyasis sit on the floor, one bare-chested, with ritual items including a brass lamp, a silver plate of offerings and a kalasha-like vessel. Potted red and white flowers line the front, and a cameraman stands at the right edge. A man in white stands at the back left. Seven or so physical people are visible.
