A photo of a large seated group of participants in an open tent with red drapes and metal equipment cases behind them. Many bare-chested young men and boys sit cross-legged on colourful rugs, wearing white dhotis and gold necklaces, with white ash or paste markings across their chests, foreheads and arms. Several older men in white kurta-style clothing sit among them, and a few saffron-robed figures sit at the left edge near brass stands. Yellow ceremonial poles mark the floor, and the group appears to be in a sacred practice such as a Shivoham or samaya deeksha session.

Most wear white dhotis and sacred threads, have white vibhuti or sandalwood-paste markings on forehead and chest, and wear rudraksha malas and small gold-toned pendants. One man in the foreground with a beard, dark dhoti tied at the waist and black mala closes his eyes, while a younger man at center in a white thread wears a pendant and rests hands on his knees. At right a boy in front of a pink-and-green mat sits with eyes closed. A person at far left holds palms together in anjali mudra. Dense rows of participants fill the background.2017-02-15
