A photo of a seated group in a large hall at a Bengaluru Aadheenam program. Rows of devotees sit on the floor in orange and rust-red robes with yellow waist sashes and red shoulder cords, many women with long hair in braids, seen from behind. Water bottles and small brass or plate offerings sit on white cloths in front of them. Further back, participants in white and red garments sit or stand near a wall with framed photo collages. A few figures near the front in white dress stand or sit close to the central area. Several people are visible, too many to count individually but well over twenty.
