Men in white dhotis and shawls, some with yellow or red borders, hold small brass lamps, cups and kalasha-style vessels while performing puja. Brass plates with flowers, betel leaves and offerings sit on orange cloths, and pink plastic bowls are placed around. Several young boys in ordinary shirts sit among the adults. Chairs and a red curtain are visible at the back. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from the image.2011-09-02A photograph of a group of men seated cross-legged on a yellow mat in a plain room with pink walls and red curtains, performing a ritual chant. Most wear white dhotis with gold or red borders and have white sacred markings on their foreheads and arms; several wear rudraksha malas.
