A photograph of a long line of men in plain white kurta and dhoti clothing standing in a row in a large hall, most barefoot. Several have small white badges or name tags on their chests and some wear rudraksha malas around their necks. In the foreground a man with a moustache and a gold wristwatch holds his hands together in front of his chest, while others stand with hands folded or clasped. Behind them hang bamboo framework and decorative yellow and multicoloured cloth banners, and a partial deity image is visible at the upper left. The people appear to be waiting in line for a session.
