A group of young and adult devotees in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged in rows during a ritual, many with white vibhuti stripes on their foreheads and arms and rudraksha malas around their necks. Several hold their palms together in prayer, and some have eyes closed. Brass vessels and small plates sit on low glass tables in front of them. Behind them, several men in white kurtas and dark clothing sit watching, and a large dark-curtained hall with metal pillars forms the background.
