A photograph inside a temple hall with a corrugated metal roof and white walls hung with framed panels. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a sindoor-marked forehead wears an orange cloth and stands at the centre, facing a row of visitors. He appears to be receiving offerings or greetings, and a man in a white dhoti with a yellow shawl stands beside a wooden table. Several women in saris and salwar kameez, one in red and another in blue with a long braid, face him with folded hands. Men in white and orange stand along the railing. A panel on the wall reads Yoga and Worship and shows a black-and-white photo of a seated yogi with a group of smiling people. Another banner describes a figure who wore the robes of a sannyasi.
