A photograph inside a pillared hall with a tiled floor and white plastic chairs. A figure in saffron-orange robes with long, dark, wavy hair stands with palms pressed together in namaste, facing a kneeling older woman in a white sari with a maroon blouse who bends forward and touches the floor at the feet of a standing person. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts, some bare-chested with sacred threads, stand with hands folded, and an elderly man in a white shirt on the left presses his palms together. Dark blurred figures and a few orange-stoled attendants stand in the background near columns.
