A seated group of young male monastics in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sits on a mat in a hall during a ritual. Many have white sacred ash marks on their foreheads and some hold small brass cups or offering trays with fruit, sweets and flowers. Behind them, older men in white dhotis and orange shawls sit on red chairs and some press their palms together in namaskar. A red curtain and a brass lamp stand are visible at the back. Several young boys sit in front with eyes closed or looking aside. The scene appears to be a group puja with offerings.
