Several young people in saffron-orange robes and orange head wraps stand close together in a bright hall, many with long dark hair wound into tall topknots. Many have white ash or paint markings on their arms, shoulders and foreheads, and rudraksha beads hang across their chests. In the foreground, a smiling girl with a red forehead mark holds out cupped hands, while a young man in front reaches to take a handful of yellow flowers or powder.
