Photograph inside a temple corridor lined with painted panels and informational boards, where a crowd of devotees stands with hands pressed in anjali. At the centre, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala with a large ornate gold pendant stands with hands joined; a white cloth with a red border and a crescent-topped headpiece appear on his head. Around him, women in white, green, maroon and red saris and men in white dhotis press close. A tall silver ritual staff stands behind the crowd. Visible text on the boards is partly legible in English. Given the page's a person reference and the saffron robe, mala and gold pendant, the central figure is an appearance-based a person.
