In the centre, a young man in orange with a red-and-white shawl and a rudraksha necklace stands beside a man in dark maroon robes with a mala, while a figure in orange with a red shawl adjusts or embraces another person. Seated devotees in white and red sit on a white cloth on the floor in the background, with potted palms and white columns visible.

A large seated congregation fills the foreground of a photograph taken at an indoor ritual gathering. Many devotees sit on colourful woven mats, several in saffron and orange robes, some bare-chested with white or ash marks, and many with hands joined in namaste. Behind them a tall orange-draped backdrop is covered with rows of black-and-white framed photographs, and a few people stand at the top of the scene near a tented canopy and a video camera. The crowd appears to number well over twenty people.

A large crowd of devotees fills an indoor hall, most in orange and saffron clothing with dark rudraksha malas around their necks. Many stand with hands raised and palms together in devotion, while women in white and bright orange saris clap or raise their arms. A young girl in a white top with an orange-and-red scarf stands at center. Framed photographs of ceremonies hang on the wall behind them, and white air conditioners are mounted above. No single figure with distinctive presiding cues is clearly visible, so no a person candidate is identified.
