A bare-chested man with short grey hair and a grey beard sits cross-legged on a pink mat at a marble floor, leaning forward to arrange brass puja vessels on a red cloth, including a brass plate, small bowls, a conch-shaped vessel and a lamp. He wears a rudraksha mala and a dark patterned lower wrap. Behind him, several shirtless men with white sacred markings on their bodies and foreheads sit in rows with white cloths, in a hall with a blurred blue display screen.
