Six young shaved-headed boys in saffron-orange robes with maroon borders lie on a pale floor, heads together in a star pattern, photographed from above. Several have white vibhuti marks across their foreheads and faces, one has a red bindi, and some wear beaded necklaces and bracelets. Most are smiling or raising open hands toward the camera, creating a playful, cheerful group portrait of young ashram students.
