Many people, mostly children and teenagers, sit cross-legged in white clothes, with some wearing orange shawls and rudraksha malas. Brass ritual items, including bells, a lamp and a plate of offerings, sit on a woven mat in the foreground. A young boy in a yellow shirt sits at the right edge. Light comes from ceiling fixtures and an open doorway at the back.2007-08-08October 17 20072007-10-17January 31 20072007-01-31Photo of a large indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof and steel trusses, where a seated congregation sits on mats and rugs in rows. Many participants wear white clothing, and several young people in white and red sit at the front near brass oil lamps, bells and small silver-coloured vessels arranged on the floor. A few women wear orange, red and blue saris. Hanging decorative banners with geometric patterns and bird motifs line the walls. A white plastic chair stands at the left edge beside a small wooden stool. The scene suggests a puja or satsang gathering, with an oil lamp lit before the group. No individual can be identified from appearance, and no candidate for a person is clearly visible.2007-10-15October 16 20072007-10-16A seated group of young boys and men in white ritual clothes sit in rows on striped mats inside a corrugated-roof hall at an ashram.
