A group of young male disciples in saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth sit closely together outdoors on a stage or hall floor, many with bare upper bodies, rudraksha malas, beaded necklaces and white tilak markings on their foreheads.

Several wear gold pendants and some have gold-coloured beaded necklaces. Behind them, other people in orange and white clothing are seated or standing in a blurred hall.
