A photograph of several young boys seated on the floor in orange saffron robes, with white marks on their foreheads and rudraksha beaded necklaces. They sit before a low table holding small brass oil lamps (diyas) lit with flames, brass vessels, a brass bell-like item, and yellow flower petals or marigolds. One boy in the foreground holds his hand near his face while the others look down toward the offerings, appearing to take part in a ritual puja. A pale pink wall and a red curtain form the background. No recognizable a person figure is visible.
