A photograph inside a hall with red carpet and red curtains. In the foreground, a smiling man in white kneels and reaches toward a tray of bananas held by a priest in orange robes and an orange turban, with a box of bananas beside it. Standing behind him, a group of men and a woman look on; a bare-headed man in white dhoti and a shawl stands at centre, and two priests wear white dhotis with gold borders, rudraksha malas and white tilak markings. A priest at left wears orange robes and a rudraksha mala. The scene suggests a devotee receiving prasad. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person.
