A photograph of a group of young men and boys seated cross-legged in rows on a polished floor, dressed in saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth and orange turbans, with white and grey horizontal markings on their foreheads and bodies, and rudraksha malas around their necks. Several have their palms pressed together in anjali mudra, while others rest their hands on their laps. In front of them are banana-leaf plates holding fruit, sweets and rice, with white paper cups set along the edge. Behind them, seated devotees in white clothes watch, and gilded deity murti are visible in the upper background. Colourful rangoli designs run along the lower edge, and the floor reflects the scene.
