A long-haired man in a cream and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, wearing a red and white flower garland and layered gold necklaces, walks forward with hands folded in front of him. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand near a colourful umbrella with a trident finial. Nearby, a silver covered vessel rests on an orange cloth beside rows of stainless steel bowls on a red cloth. Girls in orange, blue and green salwar kameez stand along the wall with hands pressed in namaste, and a woman in white sits on the floor with folded hands. A blue sign reads Silence please.
