A seated group of young ashram boys and men in a temple hall performs a ritual. Several wear orange or saffron upper cloths and maroon-red lower garments with gold borders, with rudraksha malas and white tripundra marks on their foreheads and bodies. In the foreground a boy in orange with a rudraksha mala looks upward and presses his palms together, while the boy at right holds a small object. Brass lamps, a plate of offerings and a brass kalasha sit on mats in front, and a gold-coloured shrine and a dark bag appear behind. The men and boys are seated with their hands folded or in ritual poses.
