A photograph of a crowded ritual hall during a Maheshwara Puja style food offering. In the centre, a man with curly dark hair, bare-shouldered and wearing an orange and gold saffron cloth, stands with his back to the camera and white ash lines on his upper arm, holding a rudraksha mala on his wrist. Around him, several boys and young men in orange and gold-bordered cloths and rudraksha malas hold and eat food offerings, one with a hand raised to his mouth. A bald man in orange on the right also wears a rudraksha mala. A tiled wall with a red-brown panel and a glimpse of a white-clad attendant appear in the background.
