A photo of a devotional ceremony in a decorated hall. A man with long dark hair wearing an orange robe and white flower garland sits centrally on a raised seat under a white floral canopy, smiling. In front of him, women in orange and blue saris and orange sashes lean forward to tend a red and gold cloth-covered tray. Seated devotees in orange shawls and white clothes fill the foreground and left, and a woman in a light blue sari kneels at right. Marigold and rose garlands hang from the pillars, and a large portrait of a smiling bearded man with a pale face is behind the canopy. Several devotees sit cross-legged in the lower foreground.
