A photograph of a large indoor gathering in which a man seated on an ornate silver throne with red cushions is the central figure. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned robe, a long rudraksha mala, a ceremonial pearl-and-gold necklace, and has a red tilak on his forehead; he smiles and rests his hand on the armrest. Beside him a Yamaha keyboard sits on a silver stand. Behind and around him, many seated devotees in white ritual clothes, several bare-chested men with sacred ash marks and women in sarees fill the hall, with silver ceremonial staffs visible at the left edge. Other attendees are devotees.
