A few people in the foreground have hands folded or fingers to their faces. Several visible figures wear wraps and beads, but no single person in front is clearly a person; the shaved and bearded men in the middle and left are devotees. Many people are visible, with several more partially seen at the edges.2016-12-07January 02 20162016-01-02 +1 copiesMay 28 20172017-05-28March 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesA large group of shirtless young men and boys sits cross-legged in dense rows on pink and green mats during a seated meditation or initiation session.
