A photograph of a hall where several young boys in red-maroon robes with gold-yellow borders sit cross-legged on mats in a row, eyes closed, hands folded or in mudra, appearing to chant or meditate. Brass puja trays, bowls, a kalasha-style vessel, flowers, a rudraksha mala and an incense stick in front of them suggest a padapuja-style ritual. Behind them, a man in white clothing with an orange shawl sits on the floor, and red curtains and framed pictures line the walls. Counting clearly visible people, roughly six to twenty are present.
