A photograph of a ritual scene in an ashram hall. Two boys sit cross-legged on a cloth in front of a ritual setting, dressed in white kurtas and white dhotis with maroon borders, wearing rudraksha malas and small red tilak marks on their foreheads. The boy on the right holds thin sticks, as does the boy on the left, and an adult's hand extends into the lower foreground holding a thread. Behind them a man in white stands holding an open book, with a microphone on a stand and a gold pendant at his chest. A white wall fan, red and white striped wall panels and a floral garland are visible in the background.
