A photograph of a meeting in an ornate hall with red carpet and gold-framed furniture. A man with a long dark plait wears a maroon-red turban and rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a leopard-print cushion and gesturing toward a golden Nandi statue on a gold-trimmed table. A woman in a maroon sari and gold necklace sits beside him on a red-cushioned throne. Several men in orange and saffron shawls sit or stand around the table, one holding a small packet. Gold offerings, wrapped sweets, a book and a small bell sit on the table.
