A young shaven-headed monk in orange and maroon robes sits cross-legged on a mat during a ritual, wearing a long dark rudraksha mala and a white-and-red forehead mark. He holds a small object in his hands near his chest while a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass bell, a small brass bowl and a white offering on a silver tray lie in front. Other saffron-robed monks with white forehead markings sit behind him in an indoor hall, some with hands raised in mudra. The scene reads as a ritual puja gathering.
