A photograph of a row of seated men in a ritual setting, each holding a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame. Several men are shown bare-chested with white ash or paste markings on their upper arms and shoulders, wearing saffron/orange cloths and white dhotis. One man at the right wears an orange cloth draped over his shoulder and a beaded bracelet on his wrist. Blurred figures in pink and orange sit in the background, and a brass lamp stand and small plates of offerings and flowers rest on a striped mat in the foreground. The setting suggests a puja or aarti with oil lamps.
