Inside a large white tent decorated with hanging tassels and lanterns, a group of young men in saffron-orange dhotis with gold borders and wrapped orange shawls stand barefoot on a red carpet, arms raised with palms open in devotional gesture. Several wear rudraksha malas. Behind them, other devotees in white dhotis and white garments stand or sit among the crowd, and cables run across the floor. The scene appears to be a devotional gathering, with the young men as the most prominent figures.
