A photo at an indoor hall where a shaved-headed man in an orange-red sleeveless top and a garland of white jasmine offers a spiky golden fruit. A man in a white striped shirt with a Kalpataru identity badge stands behind, with a white-clad crowd and a Kalpataru banner on the wall. Large floral garlands of white and orange flowers hang at the left edge. The scene looks like a Kalpataru programme darshan, and the offering is made to the devotee by the priest in orange.
