A photograph inside a hall with pale tiled floor and orange cushions where a large group of seated people, mostly young boys and men, perform a ritual. In the foreground a bald man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and white forehead and arm markings sits on a mat before a tray of brass bowls and a small pot, holding his hands together. Beside and behind him, many boys wear maroon and orange robes and sit cross-legged with brass vessels and oil lamps arranged on mats. Several men in white dhotis sit among them, and incense smoke rises at upper right. Framed portraits hang on the wall and orange cloth drapes the room. Several people are visible at the far left.
