A photograph of an indoor hall where a seated event is underway in front of a large pink banner advertising the Atirudra Mahayaga, dated 11, 12 and 13 January 2015. On the banner are portraits of two older-looking saints in saffron and orange robes, one raising a hand in blessing. Two figures sit in large red armchairs on a red carpet: a person in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a red sari with a red blouse, gesturing as she speaks. Beside them, a man in a red shirt and white dhoti stands at a microphone stand holding papers, and a priest in a red-and-gold dhoti stands nearby. Audience members in white, striped and yellow clothing sit on black chairs in the foreground, some with their backs to the camera.
