Photograph of a tiered red-painted stepped structure beside a still water pool, lined with rows of small terracotta-coloured lamp stands and stone pillars. Thirty to forty young men in maroon and saffron-orange robes sit in long rows on the steps, each holding a long thin stick or instrument upright, appearing to perform a synchronized ritual. Potted plants line the lower left edge, a white metal railing runs across the steps, and a grey wall with a chain-link fence stands behind. No individual is identifiable as a person; all figures are seated devotees or monastics in the rows.
