A photograph of an indoor hall with a row of white plastic chairs and a central aisle marked with yellow lines. A figure in a flowing orange-saffron robe with long, dark, swept-back hair walks forward with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered. The figure's distinctive hair and saffron robe are a person cues, though the appearance is not fully certain. To the left, a man in a white dhoti and shirt bows with folded hands. Behind them, participants in white and cream ritual clothes, several women in cream saris with gold borders and an orange sari, stand with hands joined. Men in white kurtas and dhotis line the right side with hands folded, and one seated woman in a wheelchair appears at the lower right. Festive woven hangings with elephant motifs in orange, yellow and red decorate the ceiling and pillars, and a dark curtain hangs at the back.
