Photograph of a ceremonial moment at a Bhagavad Gita event. A man in a yellow turban and draped yellow shawl, wearing a purple and red silk dhoti-style garment with gold border, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and a red-and-green waist sash, holds a folded white paper and raises one hand in blessing toward a man in an orange shirt who bows with hands joined. Two shaven-headed attendants in white dhotis with red borders stand beside him; one carries a silver tray of red fruit and sparkling offerings with rudraksha. Silver stanchions and a pink banner reading Bhagavad Gita line the background, with other people behind.
