Photo of a seated devotee gathering in a temple-like hall. In the foreground a woman in an orange sari with white jasmine garlands and red flower accents sits with hands pressed together in namaste. Beside her a man in white kurta with white and red garlands looks forward. Other devotees in white, teal and green saris and kurtas, many wearing jasmine garlands, sit in rows behind a metal railing. At upper right a figure in orange robes sits on an ornate red and gold throne, which may indicate a person presence, though the view is partial and uncertain. A small ceremonial lamp or instrument is visible at lower left.
