A photograph at an outdoor event tent with blue scalloped fabric ceiling. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, wearing a red-orange turban, a gold-and-beige shawl and a rudraksha bracelet on his upper arm, gestures with an open hand toward a woman in a pink patterned top with a rudraksha mala, who stands with palms pressed together in greeting at a display table. Beside him, a bearded older man in orange robes and an orange-clad younger man with a gold garland observe the exchange. A display board behind the table shows photos of devotees and a sign reading Guru Puja. Brochures and booklets lie on the table in front of a laptop.
