A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with a rudraksha mala and a long garland of red and white flowers, holds a silver trident and smiles while receiving a lamp. Devotees in white dhotis and saris kneel and stand around the low orange-draped seat, several with hands folded in prayer. One man in front holds a flaming oil lamp over a plate of flowers as an aarti is performed. A tray of apples and sweets sits to the right. Behind, a poster shows a figure in orange headwear and a photographer in a white shirt and dhoti stands by. A devotee in white with a painted forehead sits at the left, and a shaved-headed man in white sits in the background. The orange cloth backdrop and banners on the wall frame the ritual scene.
