The room has plain walls and a window at right.2013-10-04 +1 copiesSeveral shaved-headed men in saffron-orange and rust-brown robes with gold-bordered shawls stand before a bright red backdrop. Many wear rudraksha malas; some have white sandalwood or ash markings on arms and chest, and one has a yellow-orange tilak on his forehead. A central man in glasses, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala, rests his hand on his chest, while another man on the right holds green leaves and bows his head. A bare-chested man at the right edge in orange cloth also has a mala.
