A photograph of several saffron-robed men seated on a red cloth at a microphone-equipped stage, reciting or chanting from papers in front of them. Three men in orange turbans and orange shawls wear rudraksha malas and gold beaded necklaces; one holds a small cloth-wrapped object and another a wooden staff-like rod with gold trim. Behind them a backdrop shows carved temple-style figures in terracotta tones, and a woman in orange sits at the right edge holding a gold-tipped staff with a white flower garland. Several people are partly visible behind them. The wall-mounted tapestry shows temple sculpture.
