A photograph at the Akhila Karnataka Dhaarmika Santara Samaavesha event. A man in a red-gold brocade shawl and orange dhoti stands at center, receiving a small white-wrapped gift from a smiling man in a red-orange dhoti with a long beaded garland and a rudraksha-style necklace. Behind them a large orange banner shows a smiling turbaned figure in orange and a portrait of a deity in a pink-and-gold setting. Seated on ornate chairs at left, a man in white ritual clothing sits beside others in orange robes, and a bald man in white stands at right. Water bottles sit on a table covered in orange cloth.
