A photograph of a hall with cream walls, red curtains and wall displays, where a figure in a brown turban and a large garland of yellow and white flowers with red roses stands at center, bare-chested, with sandalwood marks on the arms and a leopard-print cloth at the waist. A man in white clothes with a wooden staff and beaded mala stands at left, and a devotee in white shirt and dhoti clasps hands with the garlanded figure while holding papers. Other devotees, some in orange and red saris, stand in the background, and an older man at right holds his palms together in namaskar. Whether the garlanded central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone.
