A photograph of a covered outdoor pavilion where a standing man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a rust-red dhoti and a thick gold-toned necklace, holds a barrel drum at his side while facing a seated crowd. Dozens of young women and girls in orange-saffron tunics and rudraksha malas sit in rows on a large striped rug of red, green, blue and purple. Several raise their hands or clasp them in namaskar. Behind them a red-cushioned throne-style chair sits beside a small altar with garlands and triangular banners, and women in saffron and purple stand nearby. A videographer on a tripod films from the right.
