A photograph inside a large hall during an evening aarti ritual. Four or five young men stand in a row at the right holding lit oil lamps (aarti lamps), bare-chested with orange dhotis, red-orange garlands and beaded rudraksha necklaces. Seated and standing devotees in orange and red garments fill the room, and women in orange saris sit at a low altar table on the left. A golden throne with a pink-clad seated figure stands at the left wall, with curtains, wall panels and ceiling lights above. No one on the throne is clearly identifiable as a person, so the candidate is unsure.
