A photograph inside a hall with red-curtained windows, a stage backdrop and projection screens. A bare-chested man in a saffron-orange dhoti with a gold-coloured border and a dense gold bead necklace receives people at close range, holding a folded paper in one hand while another hand reaches toward a devotee. He has long hair pulled back and a yellow-and-red forehead mark, and wears gold bangles and an armband. Around him, devotees in white and cream clothes press their palms together in namaskar; a man in a white kurta wears a rudraksha mala, a woman in a white sari with teal border stands at left, and a small boy in a blue shirt stands below. Behind them, a saffron-clad priest with white forehead markings stands beside a row of white-clad attendees.
