A photograph inside an orange-red tent where several men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand in a line with rudraksha and gold-toned beaded necklaces, hands pressed together in namaskar. The foreground man on the left holds a small vessel. Behind them a golden palanquin or ornate throne with a curved gold ornamental arch and tasseled hangings in red, blue and yellow is visible on the right. A woman in a white sari with a red border stands at right near a low platform with brass vessels. A printed notice hangs on the left wall. The scene appears to be a ritual gathering, with no identifiable person can be confirmed from appearance here.
