A large hall filled with seated devotees, mostly women in saris and salwars with some men, facing a central throne. A bearded man with long dreadlocks, a rust-orange turban, bare chest, orange shawl and layered rudraksha and gold-pendant necklaces sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a small deity murti on a golden stand beside him.

A few shaved-headed priests in white are seated near the front. Photo is of an in-person event.
