A photograph of a large tented hall where a group of young men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing a long table with white cloth covering it. Several men in saffron-orange shawls stand at the far end of the hall near the table, also with hands folded. Colourful woven banners with tribal-style patterns hang on the tent poles, and a row of framed photographs and printed panels is mounted along the back wall. Balloons in purple, pink and blue are tied near the top. A small brass plate with offerings sits on the floor in the foreground. Plastic chairs line the right side of the hall. No individual is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance alone.2007-10-01October 01 20072007-10-01October 01 20072007-10-01October 01 20072007-10-01October 01 20072007-10-01A large hall with a white ceiling draped with cloth and tall hanging banners in red, blue, yellow and orange patterns.
