A photograph of a seated ritual gathering in a plain, dimly lit room with a white wall and a pale ceiling light. In the foreground a small wooden table holds a laptop, with cables running across a red-and-white circular floor marking. Behind stacks of wrapped boxes and offering trays, a bare-chested young priest with a rudraksha mala and a white cloth sits beside a woman in a white sari. Two older men in white shirts and dhotis sit at the back, and several people in colourful saris and checked lungis sit in a semicircle on the right, watching the proceedings. The setting suggests a homa or puja broadcast to remote participants.
