A large group of saffron-robed monastic students sits cross-legged on a white floor for a ritual. Many have white vertical forehead markings and rudraksha malas; the front row has shaven heads. Several have palms pressed together in prayer, and others hold small brass vessels and ritual items on tray-like plates in front of them. A few adults in orange and maroon robes sit among them, and some men in white shirts sit in the back. Brass plates hold flowers, fruit and oil lamps, and a red cloth runs along the back. It appears to be a group puja or chanting session.
