Outdoor ceremony under a blue and white canopy, with large grey stone deity murtis garlanded with white and red flower garlands behind the seated crowd. Many women and girls sit on mats in front, wearing orange, saffron and red saris and shawls, with rudraksha and bead necklaces, hands folded in namaste or palms pressed together in prayer. A standing man in white clothes stands at the back near the entrance, and an older woman in orange shawl sits at the left edge. Several people in the foreground have closed eyes in meditation. The scene suggests a satsang or puja gathering.2008-01-01August 12 20162016-08-12January 01 20082008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01August 26 20142014-08-26A large outdoor event under a white tent canopy with many people seated on red carpeting, most wearing white or pastel dresses and saffron-orange shawls.
