The seated man holds a golden vessel in his left hand. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands behind them against a dark blue curtain. A probable Swamiji figure is present, identified by long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala, ornate red-and-gold shawl, and tilak, performing the touch on the bald devotee.2011-07-17January 04 20132013-01-04Two 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.2010-12-18February 25 20132013-02-25Close photo of two shaved-headed men in white dhotis with gold borders seated in meditation or puja.
