A photograph of a seated ritual gathering in a draped room with patterned wall fabric and an air conditioner. On the left, an older man with swept-back grey hair wears an orange robe, a dark rudraksha mala and a pendant; he sits on a gold-framed chair. Beside him a bare-chested man sits in a red-brown cloth, and on the right a man in a maroon-brown robe with a gold-beaded necklace sits on an orange cushioned throne. Another seated man in maroon-brown robes with rudraksha beads appears at the far right. In front, a red cloth covers a table with brass bowls of offerings, fruit, a metal pot and a silver tray; a garland of red and yellow flowers lies at the left edge. Several people are visible in the scene; the figure with distinctive long swept hair and orange robe is a person candidate.
