A wide photograph of a large hall with pink walls, red curtains and wall-mounted air conditioners, where a crowd of several dozen seated people sits on red mats and white sheets in rows. In the foreground, shaved-headed young men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged beside boys in red-orange cloth and white-clad men. A woman in a blue-and-white sari with a bindi sits near a small brass plate with offerings. Behind them, rows of seated devotees in white and orange fill the room, with a speaker mounted high on the wall and a few people sitting near the back. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the front rows.
