A photograph inside a temple pavilion with grey stone pillars and a golden-arched shrine holding a deity murti with red and green draped garments. A man with long dark hair sits on an ornate red and gold throne wearing a saffron-orange cloth, a white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, with his hands resting on his knees. Several women in orange and saffron saris sit on the floor at right with folded hands, facing him. A kalasha-like brass vessel and offerings sit on a small table at left, and a red curtain hangs at the edge. The scene appears to be a satsang or darshan.
