A seated group of young men and boys in saffron-orange dhoti-style wraps and rudraksha malas sits on a hall floor, many with white tripundra ash on their foreheads and some wearing orange turbans. Behind and beside them, rows of wooden mallakhamba poles stand upright among a large seated audience of women and men in white, green, blue and purple saris and kurtas. Several in the audience clap with palms pressed together, and a man in an orange wrap sits at the right edge. The room has white walls, a framed picture and a serving counter in the background.
