Young men with bare chests and orange-saffron dhoti-style cloths perform an energetic ritual dance in a hall, their long black hair flung upward and swaying as they move. Several wear beaded necklaces, bangles and an earring; one in the foreground clasps his hand to his chest and grimaces mid-movement. Behind them, other devotees in orange and white stand watching, and colourful framed pictures hang on the walls.
