A dense group of men and boys in orange-saffron dhoti-style cloths, most bare-chested with rudraksha malas around their necks, dance energetically in a tiled hall. Several have long dreadlock-style hair flying as they move; one young man in the foreground wears a gold-brocade jacket with a rudraksha mala and gestures expressively. The mood is ecstatic group dancing, possibly a satsang celebration.
