A group of men sitting on the floor in a courtyard setting while a person moves from one to another applying tilak on their foreheads during a religious ritual.
Used to describe being forced into an office ritual, a corporate initiation, or any situation where someone is begrudgingly receiving something from an authority figure.
"om vishnu ratamasi vishnu" from Aarakshan became one of those clips people reach for instinctively. The delivery makes it work — you don't need the full plot to feel the weight of the line. It lives in group chats, comment sections, and short edits because it compresses a specific mood into something immediately shareable.
