Photograph of a night-time indoor hall with an open doorway framing a dark outdoor scene of palm trees and a tall gold-topped ceremonial pole. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand at the entrance: the taller one wears a rudraksha mala and an orange dhoti with bare upper body, and the other wears an orange shawl and a dark garland-like ornament near his head. To the left, three men in white dhotis and white shirts with yellow or orange shawls stand in a line, and a seated man in white sits on the floor near the threshold. On the right, a small table holds a brass pot, a plate of yellow flowers, and a white plastic chair. A wall clock reads 7:65 above the doorway. The room is bare with a concrete floor.
