A photograph taken under a white tent with blue and white embroidered drapes and a red patterned hanging above. Several people gather around a white-draped seat or platform. A central figure in an orange saffron garment with long dark hair stands at the seat while another person in a white sari with a long braid and a woman in a white sari with orange trim stand near. A man in a yellow and navy jacket and a man in a light blue t-shirt stand at the edges, and a man in white kneels in front of the seat, apparently offering reverence. A standing fan is at the right edge and patterned carpets cover the floor. The page indicates a padha pooja event, so the seated central figure's ritual role is consistent with a padapuja offering.
