In the right foreground a person in an orange-saffron top with long dark curly hair, gold necklace and a pen in the pocket raises one hand with an index finger extended, as if explaining or teaching. Around them devotees sit closely: a woman in a maroon hooded wrap, a woman with a red headscarf, a person in a knit beanie, a man in a white shawl, and others in white and purple garments.

A photograph of a festive hall with a white tent canopy and painted decorative pillars. A long-haired man in saffron-orange clothing and a rudraksha-style necklace sits on a red and gold cushioned seat, smiling as he places his hand on the head of a seated woman with a long braid in front of him.
