A photograph of a group of young male devotees in saffron-orange dhotis and matching orange turbans inside a temple hall with gold lattice décor. Several are bare-chested with rudraksha malas and wrapped orange shawls knotted over their shoulders; some stand close together, while one in the foreground holds a hand to his chest. A large backdrop shows a pink and white painted image of a figure with a red sari-like garment. The scene reads as a gathering of ashram residents. Eleven people are visible, some partly cropped at the edges.
