A large group of young boys and a few adults sit cross-legged on a tiled hall floor during a ritual gathering. Most boys wear saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth and have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads, and several wear rudraksha malas. A bald, orange-robed man with a rudraksha mala and white forehead marks sits in the centre-right, a boy beside him in orange seems to be receiving marks, and a man in white clothes with folded hands sits at the back. Brass plates with flowers, fruit, kumkum and small lamps are arranged on the floor, along with a small decorated silver-and-red stand and a silver tray. Red chairs are stacked along the back wall and an orange-robed figure stands in the background.

Behind them, red chairs are arranged in a hall with red curtains.
