A photograph of a seated gathering in a temple hall with polished marble floors and gold-toned walls. Several men wear white dhotis and white shirts, many with orange or saffron shawls. In the centre, three seated figures sit close together: two wear orange robes and rudraksha malas, one with a striped shawl, and a bald man in white kneels or sits nearby; a woman in a pink-orange sari sits at the centre-right. A standing man in white holds a microphone and speaks to the group. Several rows of plastic chairs in green and white face inward, and a flat-screen display shows a bright image behind them. The crowd is seated in a semicircle, and the people occupy most of the frame.
