A standing figure in saffron-orange robes, a draped orange shawl over one shoulder and a red tilak on the forehead, with long swept-back dark hair, walks forward on a green carpet runner. Behind and around them, a large hall is filled with seated devotees in white clothes, many wearing white blindfolds across their eyes, in rows across the floor. On the right, a bald man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl stands holding a small object. A banner hangs on the far wall and a few other people stand near the back. Bright doorways and plain beige walls frame the room.
