A jubilant group photograph of about two dozen people posed in a bright room with white walls. Many raise their arms and make victory or peace gestures. Most men and boys wear white kurtas and shirts with lanyards, and the women wear white or orange saris and salwar. In the front, a man in saffron robes with a mala sits cross-legged beside a woman in an orange sari. On a low table in front sit a framed portrait garlanded with flowers and marigold strings, a small statue dressed in purple, and offerings of red and yellow flowers.
