A group of young boys and several adult men in saffron-orange robes sit on the floor of a white-tiled hall performing a puja. Many have white sacred ash marks across their foreheads. The boys hold small brass lamps and plates, and brass trays with offerings, flowers and small bowls sit in front of them. A man in the centre wears rudraksha malas and holds a lit lamp. Behind them, red curtains, red chairs and red floor mats line the room, and a few men in white clothes sit or stand in the background. A ritual service or padapuja is in progress.
