Indoor ritual scene with a row of young devotees in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, their foreheads and arms marked with white ash, seated with hands pressed in anjali at a puja. Brass lamps, small oil lamps and bowls sit on a low floor platform before them. Behind, several men in white shirts sit against a wall, and a player holds a stringed instrument. A pink-trimmed saffron-clad figure in the upper left wears a purple head covering. The scene suggests a puja or satsang session in a hall.
