A photograph of a seated group in a hall during a Navaratri-style gathering. A central figure in an orange robe with orange cloth spread beneath is seated and holding a sheet of paper, with long dark hair, while a large crowd of devotees in orange, saffron and white clothing sits on the floor around him. A large painted deity murti with black hair and a flowered decoration stands at the left edge, and a painted yellow and blue pillar is at the right. Wall framed photographs and a shelf with books are visible in the background. Cues for the central figure are long hair and saffron robes, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
