A photograph of a satsang-style gathering before a decorated deity murti garlanded with yellow, orange, pink and purple flower garlands. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown dhoti-style wrap over the shoulders and a rudraksha-style necklace, holds a red-and-gold coconut-like object toward two young children in white t-shirts, who reach up with cupped hands. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala kneels holding a similar red-and-gold object. Further back, women in white and green saris and an orange top stand near a window and a standing fan, and a silver lamp stands at the right edge. The man has distinctive long, swept-back hair and orange ritual clothing, so the appearance is a probable match for a person, shown in person handing out an offering.
