A photograph inside a library room lined with tall wooden bookshelves packed with colourful book spines. In the lower left, a seated man with a white forehead marking and a garland of marigolds and green leaves sits near an ornate silver-and-red velvet chair. Around him, a dense crowd of people, several in white clothes and one woman in a white top, sit and stand, some with hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind them a woman in an orange-red garment and beaded necklace stands near a wall fan and a small ceremonial hand-bell on a stand. A wooden book stand and a wall-mounted fan complete the setting.

A seated figure on an ornate silver-framed red velvet throne wears a rust-red robe and receives a garland of green leaves, yellow and orange marigolds, with a rudraksha-style necklace visible. Around him, several people crowd in: a woman in a rust-red sari with a gold border and a dark rudraksha mala smiles and stands with her hands clasped; a man in white dhoti with a bare upper body and folded hands stands at left; and heads of other devotees in white are seen in the foreground. The seated figure's face is partly lowered and not clearly visible. The throne presence and garland suggest honour being given, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2017-07-23July 23 20172017-07-23Indoor photo of a small devotional gathering in a room lined with bookshelves and orange-spined books.
