A blurred, crowded photograph of devotees pressing together in a tightly packed space. A man in the centre with short grey hair and an orange-red garment over his shoulders is partly turned away, his face mostly hidden by the people around him. A raised arm in a white sleeve appears at upper left, and a few other figures in white shirts, a checked shirt and colourful clothing fill the frame. The appearance of the central man is not clear enough to confirm who he is, so no identity is asserted.2006-12-04A dense crowd of men fills a hall, seated shoulder to shoulder and looking attentively ahead. Most wear white shirts or dhotis, and several bare-chested men wear rudraksha malas and gold chains. A few have white head cloths and some wear white-and-saffron dhotis with sacred ash marks on their foreheads. Many appear to be devotees listening during a satsang or ceremony. The foreground shows men in close view with serious, focused expressions, while rows of others recede into the background. No single figure with distinctive a person cues is clearly identifiable in this frame.2017-02-24A dim, crowded night scene in a temple corridor with stone walls, where many men and some women press together looking upward. In the right foreground, a man in an orange-red garment with a rudraksha-style bead necklace stands beside a man in a white shirt and a bald man in a light jacket. A man in a white shirt stands at the center-top. The crowd fills the frame and the light is warm and low.

A shirtless small boy with a dark cord necklace is held up above the crowd, and a yellow cloth is raised near the top. Several older men with white hair and glasses stand in the throng, many with raised hands. A white curtain forms the backdrop. The packed queue suggests a darshan line, though no a person candidate is clearly visible.2015-07-26July 19 20162016-07-19February 24 20172017-02-24March 11 20172017-03-11 +1 copiesJuly 26 20152015-07-26A dense crowd of seated men fills the frame at an indoor satsang, most dressed in white shirts and dhotis or light trousers, with a few in colourful shirts.
