Two smiling men in white ceremonial garments stand side by side in a hall with orange-cushioned chairs in the foreground. The man on the right wears a white dhoti-style cloth with red border, a rudraksha mala, and a red tilak mark on his forehead; the man on the left wears a white robe with a yellow scarf. Overhead hang yellow and blue-patterned decorative drapes, and a stage with an orange throne-like chair and a small framed picture sits in the background. A blue sign on the left reads maintain silence and prohibits cell phones, children under twelve, and video, audio and photography.

A line of young men in white kurta and dhoti with orange shawls dances energetically across the floor, one with a green leaf-like prop raised in hand. Seated devotees in white and orange line the left and lower edge, a woman in white with an orange shawl smiling among them, and a man in white at lower left clapping. A standing figure in orange robes stands at the right edge near the stage steps.

On the right, a bare-chested man with his hair in a bun wears a red and gold-bordered shawl over his body and a rudraksha mala around his neck, facing left with his head slightly bowed. On the left, a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothing and rudraksha beads kneels with palms pressed together in namaskar, his head bowed toward him. Behind them, a man in white kneels holding a woven basket or tray, and a person with a tripod-mounted camera and other onlookers stand in the background beside a red curtain. The right-hand figure has distinctive adornments and a red shawl, but his face and appearance are not clearly enough established to identify him as a person, so his role is described as the person being honoured.2011-09-10September 17 20102010-09-17
