Several young men in white dhotis and a man in a white shirt press palms together in namaskar.

Behind them, more saffron-robed monks stand near a wall with framed panels and information boards, and a woman in a white sari with red floral print watches at right. Colourful striped and patterned poles and a dark wooden dais are visible in the hall.
