The man on the right sits with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes lowered, wearing a gold necklace and a gold bangle, with white sacred ash markings on his forehead and body. The man on the left, also with white forehead markings and a gold necklace, looks on. A third figure in the centre sits with a white cloth drawn over the head. Behind them hang orange and red striped drapes, banana leaves and pink flower garlands, with a brass vessel and small bowls at the front.2010-10-15October 15 20102010-10-15October 15 20102010-10-15Two seated men lead a chant at microphones in a plain hall. The man on the left wears white dhoti and shawl with maroon borders, gold ornaments on his arms and a gold necklace, and presses his palms together with eyes closed. The man on the right wears an orange shawl over orange clothing, a long gold bead necklace with a pendant, and white forehead markings; he holds an open book and keeps his eyes closed in recitation. Both appear in devotional sanctity during a satsang session, with a door and pale wall behind them.2010-12-18A temple ritual scene in which a young man in an orange saffron robe and a long dark rudraksha mala holds a folded white paper and reads from it, his head bowed with a white tripundra and red bindi on his forehead.

To the right, a figure in white with white forehead markings holds a small brass vessel, and behind them an ornate gold-framed seat with red cushions stands in the background.
