A seated group of devotees in a hall performs a ritual gesture, several touching their foreheads or eyes with raised hands. Many wear white dhotis or kurta-style clothing with red-orange shawls, and some wear rudraksha malas. A bald, bare-chested man in the centre wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala. Others in orange and white attire sit on mats behind, with a row of brass or steel vessels on a table at the right. Red curtains hang at the back of the hall.
