A seated group of saffron-robed sannyasis and white-clad devotees chanting in a hall during a satsang or puja. In the foreground a man in an orange-brown robe with a long rudraksha mala and gold trim sits with palms pressed together, eyes lowered, a red tilak on his forehead. Beside him, shaven-headed monks in orange robes with gold borders hold papers, and younger boys in black and dark maroon shirts sit behind them. White-robed men with white forehead markings sit among them. Small brass oil lamps and a pink container rest on the floor mat. No recognizable a person face is clearly confirmed here; the central figure is a seated sannyasi with appearance cues too limited for identification.2013-01-29January 17 20132013-01-17March 08 20132013-03-08October 27 20132013-10-27January 03 20132013-01-03January 16 20132013-01-16A large seated group of devotees in an indoor hall during a ritual, many wearing saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas and white vibhuti-style markings on their foreheads and arms.
