A rudraksha mala hangs at his neck and wrists. Seated devotees fill the hall in red chairs and on orange floor mats, many in white and orange clothing. In the foreground, a silver bell rests on a striped cloth-covered table. Red drapes and a golden framed image appear behind, and a few devotees hold cloth bags printed with a lotus-like emblem.
