Several young people in saffron-orange cloth sit cross-legged on a white floor during a ritual. Their chests are bare and marked with white ash stripes, and they wear rudraksha malas. Long dreadlocked hair and white tilak marks on their foreheads are visible. In front of them are brass plates, small oil lamps, incense sticks and offerings, with a yellow container nearby. The boy at centre holds an offering and appears to be chanting. Others in the background are also seated in orange clothes. This looks like a puja or abhishekam scene.2018-03-06March 06 20182018-03-06A photograph of a row of young people seated cross-legged on a white marble floor in a temple hall, dressed in orange-saffron cloth wrapped over the shoulders, with rudraksha malas and white ash markings on the forehead and arms.
