A photograph taken inside a hall with dark wooden ceiling beams and a white-walled room. A long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala walks forward through a doorway, gesturing to the side. Behind him, a woman in a white salwar-style outfit with a dark shawl and sunglasses is also walking, followed by several people in white and orange clothing. On the walls are large yellow panels painted with black weapon designs: star-shaped arrangements of swords, spears and tridents, and a fan-shaped group of axes and blades. The floor is dark polished stone.
