A photo inside a hall with red curtains and a golden shrine backdrop in the distance. A woman in an orange-brown saffron-toned robe with gold border, a long gold-beaded necklace and a red bindi raises her right hand in blessing over the head of a man in a white shirt and dhoti who has bowed his head and folded his hands. Around them, men in white and striped shirts stand with hands folded in respectful devotion, and a visibly bald man with a white tilak marks his forehead. A woman at right holds a tray of green fruit. Several bystanders watch in a line along the room.
