A large crowd of young saffron-robed disciples sits closely packed in a hall, many wearing orange turbans and rudraksha malas with white forehead markings and bare arms. In the foreground, several young people press their palms together in prayer. Behind them, seated devotees in orange and white clothing fill the room, with a pink-draped stage and gold deity murti visible at the back. The setting suggests a satsang or yoga gathering. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance; a shaved-headed man in white and a tall man in red-orange shawl are present among the crowd.2017-10-03 +1 copiesNovember 15 20172017-11-15November 17 20172017-11-17A photograph of a large seated group of young men and boys in saffron-orange robes and matching orange head wraps, sitting cross-legged on a striped multicolored mat outdoors at night.
