Photograph inside a large tent-like hall with white fabric ceiling and decorative yellow and red hanging banners. A figure in orange robes walks down a central aisle with palms pressed together in namaste, flanked on both sides by rows of people in white ritual clothing standing with their hands folded in greeting. Several women on the right wear white saris with gold borders and red flowers in their hair. Camera equipment and a tripod stand near the aisle, and a row of framed photographs hangs on the back wall. Visible people number roughly two dozen to thirty, so the count is 21-100.
