A photograph of young men in a room, seen in profile from the side. In the foreground a man with dark curly hair wears a white kurta and an orange shawl around his shoulders, one arm raised high. Behind him two more men in white clothes and orange shawls raise their arms in the same way, one with a white tilak on his forehead. A painted panel with a red, yellow and blue floral pattern hangs on the wall behind them. Their gesture suggests a group chanting or an upward-facing act in a devotional or satsang setting.
