A photograph of a group discussion in a temple hall with cream tiled floor. In the foreground, a man in a mustard-yellow kurta sits with his back partly to the camera, one hand raised mid-gesture while speaking. Facing him in a circle sit four men in white ritual clothes with orange and rudraksha-style malas around their necks, including one with a grey beard in a white top and navy trousers. Behind them, gold-painted shrines and a golden throne-like seat stand against red drapes, and a framed portrait hangs on the back wall. Chairs are stacked along the right side.
