In the foreground, many young boys and teenagers wear saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, with white sandalwood stripes on their foreheads; several sit with palms joined in prayer. Among them are men in white dhotis and shirts, and some adults in red or maroon robes. Shaved-headed monks in orange robes sit near the front. A green-and-gold ritual brass plate and small offerings lie on the floor near the seated group. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the scene is described by roles.2013-08-18June 03 20132013-06-03A photograph of a seated group of young boys in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls with maroon-red and gold-bordered cloths, many with white vibhuti horizontal stripes on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks.

In the foreground, a group of young sannyasi-style students in saffron robes, rudraksha malas and white forehead bands sit cross-legged on mats with hands raised in prayer or chanting, with brass lamps and small offering vessels before them. The crowd behind wears mostly white, with some in maroon. Metal stanchions line the aisle at left. A banner on the back wall shows a faded image. The scene resembles a group satsang or puja.

In the foreground, three men sit cross-legged on a white floor with hands folded or one hand raised to the chin, gazing forward. Behind them, rows of devotees in orange and white clothing sit attentively, with a few people in white dhotis and a woman at left.

No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance, so the a person field is unsure.2016-08-10 +1 copiesSeptember 12 20132013-09-12September 13 20132013-09-13
