Several wear rudraksha malas and orange-cloth shawls with beaded necklaces. Brass cups and small offering vessels sit on white cloths in front of them.

A large seated gathering of devotees fills a hall, with a dense crowd of white-clad attendees filling the background rows. In the foreground, a line of young sannyasi-style monks in saffron-orange robes with red sashes sit cross-legged on mats, wearing white sacred ash lines on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks, many with arms raised and palms pressed together or lifted in devotion. Brass vessels and small offering dishes with white flower petals sit on the floor in front of them. A man in the centre wears a saffron shawl over a white garment and a sacred-thread-like mala. Pressing of palms and raised hands convey a collective devotional gesture during a satsang-style gathering.
