A long line of men in white ritual clothes stands barefoot along a covered veranda with a corrugated roof and red-painted pillars, holding small metal bowls or leaf plates in both hands. Several men wear rudraksha or cord necklaces, and many have shaved heads. Sandals lie scattered on the dirt ground in front of the line, and a few white plastic chairs stand under the shelter. The scene is outdoors in a simple ashram setting with trees and a building in the background.
