A photograph of a large group of men seated on the floor in an indoor hall during a puja, with eyes closed and hands folded. Most are bare-chested wearing white dhotis with yellow borders and rudraksha malas around their necks; several have white and tripundra vibhuti marks on forehead and body. Two men in the foreground, one wearing glasses and a red bindi, sit with eyes closed and hands together. Behind them devotees fill the room, with a blue water bottle at the lower right corner. The scene suggests a group meditation or puja sitting; no a person candidate is clearly identifiable.
