Several men wear rudraksha malas and long necklaces of beads. Behind them, more participants in maroon and white sit on red mats with white metal barriers between rows.

Many wear saffron-orange robes and white forehead tilaks, and several boys in orange hold their palms together or rest folded hands on their knees. Silver trays hold brass lamps, flowers, bowls and offerings, and a few men in white dhotis sit among them.
