They wear orange-saffron robes and white vertical marks on their foreheads; several wear dark rudraksha malas. Brass bells, oil lamps, small brass cups, plates of fruit and sweets, and white flowers sit before them on the platforms. One boy in the foreground has his hands folded, eyes closed, while others look forward or sit with bowed heads.
