A photograph of a seated group chanting in a hall with a red floor covered in scattered flower petals. Five men in orange and saffron robes with rudraksha malas and orange turbans sit with palms pressed together in prayer, one holding a long gold-wrapped staff with a decorated top. Two women in orange saris with malas sit at a microphone at left, and a man in white with a white shawl and tilak plays a large drum. A red curtain and a tapestry of temple carvings form the backdrop. Several people sit in the background. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone, so the sannyasi figures are described by role only.
