Several wear white tilak or forehead bands and orange or saffron shirts, including a boy in a rust-orange kurta in the right foreground with hands folded. A boy in a khaki shirt sits centrally with eyes closed near a brass ritual plate holding a small ornate lamp. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style brass vessel, flower offerings and small plates are arranged on the floor, with a lit lamp in a clear container at left. Behind them, adults in white and blue shirts sit among rows of attendees and red chairs.
