A photograph inside a bright ashram hall with pale walls and ceiling lights. In the centre, a man in a red-and-gold dhoti and a tan turban holds a wooden staff and a sheet of paper, while a bald man in an orange robe and a red wooden tray or box stands beside him. On the right, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders presses his palms together, and a man in a white kurta stands nearby. Several white-clad and orange-clad devotees line a rope barrier on the left, some holding printed papers. The scene suggests a ritual procession or pada-puja line, with devotees waiting in queue.
