A large seated group of mostly bare-chested men in white dhotis sits on tiger-print and cream mats in a bright hall, many with white ash markings on their foreheads and arms, rudraksha or beaded necklaces, and white sacred threads across their chests. Several men in the front rows sit cross-legged with palms pressed together in prayer, and a grey-haired man in the centre wears a lanyard badge and closes his eyes. Background banners show blue imagery and hanging decorations. Bags, water glasses and a white cloth bag lie on the mats in front. No central figure with distinctive ceremonial cues is clearly identifiable.
