A photograph inside a covered yellow-railed shelter with a corrugated metal roof. A bearded man in a rust-orange cloth sits on a stone ledge with his feet resting on a red mat strewn with pink and yellow flower petals, while his hand is raised in a blessing gesture. Around him, devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and white shawls kneel and fold their hands in prayer. A woman in a green sari stands behind them, and a young man in white with a rudraksha mala and gold-bordered shawl holds a pair of sandals to the right. Several people are visible, some in orange and some in white, performing a padapuja-style veneration.
