A photograph of a group of young devotees in saffron-orange cloth wrapped around the waist and draped over the shoulders, several with white ash markings on their arms and chests. They hold handfuls of yellow offerings and pass them forward, with one at centre bowing toward the others. Behind them a gold-toned shrine or canopy and white-clad figures are softly blurred. The scene suggests a puja offering rite; no a person candidate is clearly visible.
