A photograph from a hall where a long-haired figure in a rust-red sarong and draped cloth walks away from the camera along a striped runner, bare-footed, with beaded bracelets on the upper arms and wrists. The figure has long dreadlocked hair falling to the waist. Seated devotees in white clothing face forward on black chairs on both sides, some in white with red or orange shawls, and a standing attendant in white with an orange sash appears near the back. A silver trident-shaped ritual staff stands on the left and a ceremonial brass-coloured object sits near the runner, with a small framed picture on the floor at right. Ceiling fans and a large wall screen are visible behind. The figure's identity is uncertain from appearance; the figure is shown from behind with no face visible.
