A large seated congregation fills the foreground of a photograph taken at an indoor ritual gathering. Many devotees sit on colourful woven mats, several in saffron and orange robes, some bare-chested with white or ash marks, and many with hands joined in namaste. Behind them a tall orange-draped backdrop is covered with rows of black-and-white framed photographs, and a few people stand at the top of the scene near a tented canopy and a video camera. The crowd appears to number well over twenty people.
