A photograph of a large group of men seated cross-legged on pink cushions in a hall, performing a ritual with hands joined in anjali. They wear white dhotis with yellow-gold borders and are bare-chested with white sacred ash marks on their foreheads and bodies; some wear rudraksha malas. A brass oil lamp and small ritual items sit on a mat in front. Behind them, a glowing illuminated deity murti stands on an altar with red drapery. Several participants have long hair and some have shaved heads. The atmosphere is that of a group puja or meditation session.2017-01-01A shaved-headed man sits cross-legged with eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali at his chest, wearing a white sacred thread and white dhoti. He is bare-chested with white ash stripes on his arms and shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead, with a gold pendant on a chain. Behind and beside him, several other bare-chested men in white dhotis and white threads sit in meditation or prayer on an orange mat in a hall.

Many participants wear white dhotis and shawls with tilak markings and rudraksha malas, and several sit with hands folded in prayer or namaskar. Some men hold small brass vessels and pots near the front. Lanyards with name badges are visible on several people. A blue wall sign and an Om-emblazoned shirt appear among the crowd.
