A photograph inside a tin-roofed hall where seated devotees in white and children sit on mats while a man in an orange shirt and dark trousers helps a small shirtless boy climb a tall wooden pole. Beige curtains and red-and-blue decorated pillars line the back wall, and a few seated adults wear white and saffron-bordered cloth. No one fits the a person description clearly enough to name, so the standing man is treated as an event helper.
