Night-time photo of a courtyard where a group of initiates sit in rows, most bare-chested with rudraksha malas and white dhotis bordered in gold-yellow. Many wear red or gold blindfolds and have white markings on their faces and bodies. Some sit on white plastic chairs while a young man in front sits cross-legged on an orange mat, one hand raised near his face. Behind them, a row of younger boys in orange garments and malas sits on the stone floor. Dark wet patches mark the paving and green leafy plants with pink flowers frame the lower right. Nobody in the scene is identified as a specific person.
