Five shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhoti-style wraps with yellow borders stand on a red carpet in namaste mudra, palms pressed together. Several wear rudraksha malas and wristwatches. Behind them a printed backdrop shows a sepia temple corridor with carved pillars, and the word Celebrations is visible at top. A silver barbell lies across the foreground on black rubber mats, with a small white dish on the floor.
