A large group of seated devotees with palms pressed together in namaskar inside an orange-walled hall with decorative hanging banners in teal, yellow and white. In the foreground a boy in a red shirt and grey trousers sits cross-legged with hands joined, next to a boy in a light striped shirt and a man in a yellow shirt, all barefoot or on mats. Men in white dhotis and shirts, one with white vibhuti marks on his forehead, sit among them, and a man in a brown shirt and glasses also prays. A row of metal railings and a rope line separate the seating from a stage podium on the right, where a figure in white stands. Lanyard badges are visible on several attendees.
