A photograph of a ritual scene in a plain room with pink walls and a red curtain. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts sit cross-legged on mats in rows, many wearing dark lanyard-style cords with rudraksha-like beads. They hold brass bells and incense sticks, with smoke drifting through the air, and open books or papers rest on their laps. In front of them are brass plates with flowers, turmeric-yellow powder, oil lamps lit on the floor, and small bowls of food offerings. Standing behind them at the far right is another figure in white. Nobody's face is singled out for identification here; the scene shows a group pooja with bells, incense and lamps.
