A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, with a white sandalwood forehead mark, smiles while receiving a folded white paper from a bare-chested attendant in saffron-and-yellow cloth who holds a silver tray of gold items. Around them, devotees in white shirts and pink or lavender clothes stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, some with red and white forehead marks. The room has white walls and red drapes.
