A photograph inside a temple hall with arched cream walls and a golden-framed shrine behind. A bare-chested man in long swept-back dark hair, orange-saffron cloth wrapped at the waist and shoulders, with a white jasmine garland and a rudraksha mala, a red bindi, and white sandal marks on his arms, stands at the centre holding folded papers and looking down at them. Around him, men in white shirts and dhotis and a man in white with a white tilak press close, some with hands raised in greeting or folded in namaskar. Women in orange and purple saris and a woman in an orange shirt stand at the right. A cameraman in white raises a video camera above the crowd. Several people, many in white, are visible, and an unlabelled portrait sits above the shrine.
