A photograph of a seated group of young men and boys in saffron-orange and red-orange robes with rudraksha malas, many with white vibhuti or chandan marks on their foreheads and arms, sitting on a floor during a ritual. Several hold small brass vessels and trays with offerings, and a red-draped table and a wooden carved panel stand in the background behind a white rope barrier. The people appear to be devotees or sannyasi participants; no one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
