Indoor hall with pale walls and red curtains where many boys and young men sit cross-legged on mats on a glossy floor, each holding a small oil lamp or lit wick over brass-and-leaf offerings on plates, as in a puja. Several boys wear orange, green, red and checked shirts with shorts or dhotis. On the right, two men in white dhotis and bare upper bodies sit with lamps. Behind them an elderly man in a white shirt sits on a chair near a stack of folded striped mats, and a few adults stand along the back wall. Framed plaques hang above the windows.
