A dynamic photo of a group of devotees dancing in a hall with a white tiled ceiling and a maroon draped backdrop. In the foreground, a man with bare chest and a patterned yellow-black dhoti swings a stick. On the right, a bald man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered cloth and a long rudraksha mala swings a stick close to the camera. Other participants in orange, red and purple robes, some holding short sticks, move around the centre. The image is blurred from motion, and the swirling scene suggests a group ritual dance.
