Saffron-robed young monastics sit cross-legged in a row along a long table at a temple-hall event, hands folded in prayer and palms pressed together. Many wear rudraksha malas, white forehead markings and gold-edged orange cloth; some have bangles and bead bracelets. Green banana leaves hold food, with bottled water, cups and bowls on the table. Behind them, standing people in white and orange clothes watch, and a wall display of framed black-and-white photographs and a red-lit screen with a figure appear in the background.
