Photograph inside a bright, high-ceilinged hall with white walls, ceiling fans and red curtains. A shrine at the back holds a deity murti framed by a painted green-and-gold arch. Several men in maroon-brown robes with gold borders walk across the marble floor; one central figure wears a red and white flower garland and a rudraksha mala and smiles. Other men in orange and white dhotis, a man in a white dhoti, and a man in a green shirt and jeans stand nearby along with several children and onlookers. A small crowd stands along the sides, and a red-draped wooden palanquin or seat is at right.
