A seated group of young male ascetic-style devotees in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sits on a floor in a hall, with white horizontal tilak marks on their foreheads. Several hold small brass vessels, plates of offerings and small dishes. Behind them stand and sit other men in white shirts and dhotis, and a red curtain hangs on the left beside a golden deity image and a steel pot on a table. The photograph is taken from the side of the room with a bright, somewhat busy background.
