A large crowd of men sits cross-legged on the floor of a hall during a ritual gathering. Most are bare-chested, wearing white dhotis with yellow borders, rudraksha malas and gold chains, and many have white sacred ash markings across their chests and arms. Some wear orange or saffron cloths draped over their shoulders. A few men in the front row have tilak on their foreheads, one holds his face in his hands, and a man at right has a red-and-white bead bracelet. Striped mats and a backpack lie in the foreground. Many more people fill the background.
