Indoor photo of a devotional gathering in a hall with orange and red walls, a red curtain and a tiled floor with a yellow circle marked on it. Seated on the right of centre is a figure in an ornate red-and-gold turban and orange garment with a long beaded necklace, raising one hand, appearing to be a person, seated on a carved wooden throne with white flower garlands at its base; he is a seated presence. Behind him stands a large red-and-gold statue of a deity holding a trident, with a smaller figure nearby. Around them, about fifteen people sit on red chairs or on the floor in white ritual clothes; a woman in a white sari sits cross-legged in front, a woman in a pink and orange sari sits beside her, and a bare-chested man in white trousers sits at right. A wall air conditioner and ceiling lights are visible.
