Outdoor photo of many shirtless male priests seated in rows on red-painted stone steps lined with black stone shivalinga-shaped pillars. Foreground: a young man with short hair, white horizontal body markings and a brown-bead rudraksha mala, hands joined in prayer, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti; in front of him sits a small brass plate with offerings. Behind him, another priest in orange dhoti with white ash lines and mala also has palms together. Further back, priests in white dhotis with gold-bordered cloth sit in prayer posture, and brass pots rest on the steps. No identifiable a person appearance is visible; the figures are ritual participants.
