Several young men and boys seated cross-legged on the floor in orange-saffron robes, many wearing rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, with white and red tilak marks on their foreheads and white painted markings on their arms. A young man in the centre holds a black microphone and smiles. Before them on the floor are green banana-leaf plates, small white paper cups and food, with colourful cloth mats. Behind them, women in white and cream saris and other devotees stand in a hall with white walls and a wooden door. The scene looks like a ritual gathering or meal in a temple hall.
