A photograph of a ceremony in a open-sided hall with corrugated metal walls and colourful striped hangings on the pillars. On a raised decorated platform stands a deity murti dressed with garlands and a green cloth backdrop, with a brass ornate peetha or throne-like altar and a kalasha-style setup before it. Several men in saffron and orange robes, one wearing a red turban, stand at the left, and a woman in orange sari stands at the right beside the altar. A large audience of devotees sits on colourful mats in the foreground, mostly women in saffron, pink, green and white saris, facing the altar. No one is clearly identified as the central guru; the altar and standing officiants are the focus.
