A photo of a crowd of devotees in a temple hall with stone pillars and hanging palm-leaf strands. Several men stand in rows with their backs to the camera; the foreground figures are bare-chested with white dhotis and gold-bordered cloth, and several wear rudraksha malas. Others wear dark maroon shawls and dark blue head cloths. Through an open archway a bright doorway is visible. Hanging chains and lamps are overhead. No figure can be confidently identified as the spiritual leader from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
