The foreground figure wears an orange saffron wrap draped over his shoulder, a rudraksha mala around his neck and beaded bracelets, with white sacred ash lines on his forehead and white stripes painted across his bare upper arm and chest. Beside him, a second man in an orange wrap sits with eyes closed, and a row of others in orange clothing sits behind on a white cloth before ritual offerings and small lamps.

Their eyes are closed or lowered, and the man on the right has his palms joined in anjali. Behind them hang a deep red curtain and an orange flag. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the a person field is none.2013-03-16Several men sit in a devotional setting with palms pressed together in anjali mudra and eyes closed.
