A photograph of an ashram shrine hall during an aarti-style ritual with a lit multi-tiered oil lamp in the left foreground. A man in the centre sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat with hands folded in namaskar, wearing an orange-red garment and a red-and-white flower garland. Two large painted dvarapala guardian figures with crowns, gold jewellery and multiple arms flank the doorway. Seated devotees on the right, dressed in saffron and cream, watch with hands joined, and a priest in an orange robe stands in the lower left near the lamp. Gold-hued drapes and hanging bells frame the throne, and a tripod-mounted camera sits on the floor at right.
