A photograph of a devotional exchange indoors. A man in a saffron-orange turban, a rust-brown and gold-bordered shawl, and heavy gold necklaces and bangles, with a tilak-like mark on his forehead, reaches out to a man in a white shirt and glasses who stands with palms pressed together. The white-shirted man holds an open booklet, and another man in a saffron garment stands at the right edge. Other devotees in white and plaid shirts with folded hands stand behind, and a large floral arrangement in gold and orange appears in the background.
