A photograph of a row of young male devotees in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps, several bare-chested, standing with palms pressed together in namaskar at an outdoor evening gathering. Several wear orange turbans or head cloths, white vibhuti or chandan forehead markings and rudraksha malas. Behind them stand other devotees in white dhotis, and palm trees hang with small string lights. No individual is identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so no candidate is named.
