Inside a modest thatched or tin-roofed room, several devotees face a wall shrine decorated with framed photographs and a large poster of a seated saffron-robed figure before a tree backdrop, labelled with the printed caption "...a person". On the left, a man in white with an orange shawl holds a video camera, while a man in an orange shawl and white dhoti stands nearby.
