Photograph of a large seated congregation in a richly decorated hall with red drapes and gold-toned temple décor. A man with long dark hair piled on his head, a full beard, and a leopard-print wrap over bare shoulders stands at centre in red-orange dhoti-style garments, with a long garland of white and red flowers, bangles and an armband. Many seated devotees, mostly in white, pink and teal clothing, wear dark eye coverings and red headbands. A cinema camera on a tripod and rig sits at right. The standing figure appears to be the a person, based on long hair, ornate garland and saffron-red clothing, with the page noting his presence.
