A photograph of a ritual setting on a red patterned rug. A man in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala and a gold-edged orange cloth bends forward, placing his hand on a stack of flat grey stone slabs. Beside him, a red velvet-draped seat or platform with a gold ornate base holds a garland of white flowers with red roses. Another person in orange sits at the upper edge, and a purple-clad leg is visible at the lower left. A microphone stand stands at the left edge.
