A photograph of a group of devotees in a hall during a procession-style ritual. Several shaved-headed men in saffron-orange and maroon dhotis and wraps, with rudraksha malas around their necks, move forward with arms raised and hands in gesture. A man in a white kurta with a light-coloured shawl stands among them, and to the right two men in white kurtas with maroon shawls stand watching. Behind them are red curtains, framed pictures on the walls, a green patterned cloth and a pale umbrella-like canopy. Nobody in the scene is identified as a person, and no one is clearly him.
