A photograph of a group of young men in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas seated on red stone steps, several singing into handheld microphones. The singers, dreadlocked and bare-chested with sandalwood-paste bands on their arms, appear to be chanting together. Behind them, a crowd of seated devotees in white dhotis and orange saris fills the tiers, some with hands folded in prayer. A striped cloth lies on the steps in front. The scene suggests a devotional chanting session outdoors.
