Several wear wrist bangles and watches, and one older bald man in orange wears glasses. Partially visible white-clad devotees sit at the upper left. Brass vessels and a small offering tray are visible at the lower right.

In the foreground centre, a man with a shaved head, a red bindi and a rudraksha mala over orange robes sits with palms pressed together.

Behind them, men in white dhotis and a man in a yellow shirt sit among the audience.

Most wear white dhotis and white shirts, while others wear orange or saffron cloth and rudraksha malas, and several have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads and bodies. Some devotees have their hands folded in anjali mudra, and a few appear to be clapping. Wooden chairs and wooden doors are visible in the background. No individual can be confidently identified as the a person from appearance alone, so the people are described by role and attire only.2017-06-21June 14 20132013-06-14January 22 20172017-01-22June 21 20172017-06-21March 13 20132013-03-13 +1 copiesSeptember 10 20122012-09-10
