A photograph of a group devotional dance in an indoor hall with pale walls and a curtained backdrop. A man in a pink and white patterned kurta bends forward with his palms together, facing a row of participants. Several women and men in orange shawls and white or blue kurtas and salwars clap, smile and sway around him. A woman in the centre wears a blue dress and an orange shawl and holds a red wooden instrument, and a man at right also holds a red wooden instrument. Some people are barefoot and a few wear rudraksha-style necklaces. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no identification is made.
