A group of devotees sits on a covered porch beside a wooden swing hung with brass chains, in front of a white wall with a painted folk-art panel of dancing figures. A man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi, a gold necklace and an orange wrap sits on the swing, smiling and hands clasped; a candidate matching this presentation, but the page does not confirm he is present, so the identity is uncertain. Beside him a man in a red shirt and orange shawl sits, an older woman in white with glasses and an orange shawl sits, and younger women and a man in white with orange shawls sit on the red floor. A wooden door with red and brass hangings stands behind them, and a silver staff rests on the step in the foreground.
