A large seated congregation fills a bright hall, with rows of people in white and saffron clothing sitting on a light-coloured floor with palms pressed together in namaste. In the foreground, a saffron-robed monk with a rudraksha mala sits in the centre, flanked by men in white dhotis and shawls with sandalwood tilak on their foreheads and chest.
