Several young men in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on mats in a hall with an orange draped backdrop and a gold-toned shrine behind them. Each has white vertical tilak marks on the forehead and white ash streaks on the arms, and several wear dark rudraksha malas. They sit before green banana leaves holding fruit, fried snacks, rice and a flatbread, with paper cups nearby. Three central figures are in sharp focus, with more seated people partly visible at the edges. No one is clearly identifiable as a person, and the figures are seated in the foreground.
