Behind them, devotees in white and pink stand near a wall and a red curtain, and a cameraman with a tripod is at the right. A tiger-striped red cushion and a tray of shells sit at the lower left, and an orange cloth lies on the floor. The scene looks like a ritual gift or blessing given during a gathering.2011-11-27A long-haired figure in an orange-brown robe and a long rudraksha mala seated on a dark cushioned throne hands a folded white paper to a smiling young girl in a pink-and-gold salwar with a pink shawl and small pendant necklace.

Her hands are raised in a gesture of reception with her eyes closed. Behind them, many people in white and bright saree colours sit and stand, including a woman in orange at right and a young girl in green and white. A ceiling fan is visible at upper left.
