A photograph of a devotional gathering in a bright ashram hall. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a white and orange flower garland sits with palms joined before a golden throne-like seat with red cushions. Behind him a woman in an orange sari with a maroon blouse stands beside a small table draped in white, holding a red box of offerings. Seated devotees on the floor, many in white kurtas and some in orange, hold palms together or hold flowers; a man in orange sits near the front. Orange and yellow marigold garlands hang along a window, and a framed deity image sits in an orange-draped alcove. Brass lamps and flower trays sit on the floor, and a television and speakers are visible at the right.
