A large group of men seated cross-legged on the floor in rows during a ritual or meditation session in a bright hall. Most wear white dhotis and white shirts or shawls, and several have orange or saffron cloth draped over their shoulders. Small brass lamps with lit oil flames and offering plates stand on mats in front of them. Some are seated with eyes closed, appearing absorbed in meditation, while others look toward the front. The dense rows of seated devotees fill the frame and extend toward the back of the hall.
