The central man, wearing glasses and a red rudraksha mala with a pendant, sits with eyes lowered and hands near a small object on a cloth. Others around him sit with eyes closed, some chanting, dressed in white and yellow cloths. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with white walls and a blurred background.2017-02-26January 03 20172017-01-03December 22 20162016-12-22A shaved-headed man sits cross-legged with eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali at his chest, wearing a white sacred thread and white dhoti. He is bare-chested with white ash stripes on his arms and shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead, with a gold pendant on a chain. Behind and beside him, several other bare-chested men in white dhotis and white threads sit in meditation or prayer on an orange mat in a hall. The scene reads as a group meditation or satsang session.2018-03-09February 21 20112011-02-21 +1 copiesOctober 23 20112011-10-23March 02 20172017-03-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a large seated gathering of men in white ritual clothing during a satsang or ceremony in an indoor hall with orange drapes and banners on the walls. Many participants wear white dhotis and shawls with tilak markings and rudraksha malas, and several sit with hands folded in prayer or namaskar. Some men hold small brass vessels and pots near the front. Lanyards with name badges are visible on several people. A blue wall sign and an Om-emblazoned shirt appear among the crowd. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person from the visible cues, so no in-person candidate is asserted.2010-12-02May 13 20132013-05-13Devotees sit cross-legged on red mats in a hall, pressing palms together in anjali mudra. In the foreground, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a yellow border and a sacred thread sits at the centre, eyes closed, and beside him another devotee wears a rudraksha mala and orange cloth. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks, a small metal bell and offerings sit on the floor before them. Behind, more devotees in orange and white garments with malas fill the rows, and framed photo panels hang on the walls. The scene suggests a puja or satsang. No candidate for a person is clearly visible among the foreground devotees.2016-11-06
