A photograph of a seated group of young male devotees in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, many with rudraksha malas and white ash or chalk markings on forehead and arms, sitting cross-legged on mats in a hall. In the centre, a young man with brown hair and a rudraksha mala holds a small object and looks down at a metal tray with brass dishes and offerings beside him. Another young man in front works at a tray of brass vessels and flower petals. Near the lower right, a young person with hands pressed together sits in quiet prayer. Many more participants fill the background, some bare-chested, some in white dhotis, in a ritual or satsang setting with brass lamps and pooja items visible.
