A group of young children and teenagers in saffron-orange draped garments and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces dance energetically on a striped red-and-white mat in a stone-pillared hall.

Behind them, decorated pillars with blue, red and white patterns stand under a stone colonnade, and a bearded man in white clothing with a rudraksha mala watches at the right edge.
