A large group of men sits seated on a red floor during a night ritual, most bare-chested and wearing white dhotis with yellow borders and sacred threads across their chests. Many wear gold pendants and white or ash markings on their torsos and foreheads. Several sit with hands folded in anjali. Behind them stands a white shrine with a golden figure and a deity murti, with lamps and garlands in the background. Some men hold yellow cloths on their laps. Visible scene is a devotional satsang or puja gathering with no visible a person candidate.
