Photograph of a seated congregation on green mats in a bright hall with white marble floor, during a ritual. Foreground: a row of men in white dhotis and white shirts with rudraksha malas and red-brown beaded garlands, eyes closed in meditation with hands resting on knees. A boy in an orange shawl with rudraksha beads sits beside them. Behind, women in white and coloured saris sit with flower and bead ornaments. No one in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.
