Indoor photograph of a ritual in a plain room with white walls and marble floor. In the foreground, a figure in a red-orange robe with a garland of white and red flowers holds up a tall silver trident-like staff. Seated on the floor nearby are several saffron-robed young men with shaved heads, rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. Standing at left is a bare-chested young man in white dhoti with a gold-trimmed cloth. Seated devotees in white shirts and white dhotis, some with folded hands, watch; one older woman in a green sari with a white flower garland sits in front. A fruit basket sits on a small table at left, and a calendar, posters and framed pictures hang on the walls. A puja or abhishekam-style ritual appears to be underway. The scene is documented with a photographer visible at lower right.
