Four shaven-headed sannyasi-style monks in rust-orange and saffron wraps with rudraksha mala necklaces stand in close row with palms raised in a devotional gesture, eyes closed. Behind them a seated audience in white and orange clothing fills the blurred background, several also with hands raised. The setting is dim and nocturnal, consistent with an evening satsang gathering. No a person candidate is clearly visible among the foreground monks.2014-09-14December 23 20162016-12-23September 14 20142014-09-14March 10 20132013-03-10March 10 20132013-03-10September 14 20142014-09-14Four shaved-headed men in maroon-red and gold-bordered robes with saffron-brown shawls and rudraksha malas stand in a close row, hands raised in mudra-like gestures with eyes lowered, chanting. White tripundra markings with red bindi are on their foreheads and one wears earrings and wrist bands. A blurred crowd of devotees in white and saffron fills the background. No one in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person by the listed cues, so the candidate is marked unsure.2014-09-14September 14 20142014-09-14A photograph of a large group of devotees seated on the floor in an indoor hall, mostly young men and boys in saffron-orange and maroon robes with rudraksha malas. In the foreground, two shaved-headed priests in maroon dhotis and orange-gold bordered shawls sit with palms raised in prayer, one wearing rimless glasses, both with white and vibhuti forehead markings. Behind them, rows of seated devotees raise their hands in devotion. A brass lamp and a tray with flower petals sit on the floor in front.2014-09-25May 24 20132013-05-24November 16 20152015-11-16A photograph inside a hall with framed pictures on the walls.
