He wears an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, a long rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklace, bangles, and white horizontal sacred ash stripes on his forearms and chest, with a white tilak and red mark on his forehead. Around him, orange-clad young boys and girls sit in similar ritual posture with brass lamps, oil lamps and small plates on the floor, while a few blurred adults in white and orange sit in the background. The setting suggests a puja or ritual satsang in a hall.2016-08-09January 01 20192019-01-01July 08 20172017-07-08March 14 20172017-03-14A young man with long dark dreadlocks and a red and yellow tilak sits cross-legged on a pink-and-green mat in an outdoor ritual. He wears saffron-orange robes with a red inner cloth, multiple rudraksha malas, a rudraksha bracelet and a small earring, and holds a white sacred thread between his fingers. Brass pots, a brass plate and a small brass cup sit before him. Behind him, other saffron-clad sannyasis sit in rows against blurred orange tents.2016-08-18A young boy with long, tousled black hair and a red-orange tilak sits on a light floor in an ashram hall, reading from a white paper or envelope held in both hands. He is bare-chested, wearing an orange-red dhoti with a gold-edged border, a double strand of rudraksha beads and a silver chain with a rudraksha pendant. Two adults in orange and white sit blurred in the foreground, and a wooden chair and blue container appear behind him.2017-07-08A seated group of young boys and young men in saffron-orange and red robes sits on a floor mat during a ritual gathering. Many have shaved heads with white sandalwood or vibhuti bands across the forehead and rudraksha malas around their necks. In the foreground a boy with glasses speaks or chants, and a bronze plate with a small cup and flower sits at lower right. Behind them, men in white kurtas and dhotis and several people in plain clothes sit in rows in a hall with red chairs and a red curtain. A man in a white shirt and a red-and-white patterned shirt are visible in the back rows.2013-10-16September 14 20142014-09-14A group of young male disciples in saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth sit closely together outdoors on a stage or hall floor, many with bare upper bodies, rudraksha malas, beaded necklaces and white tilak markings on their foreheads. The central young man holds a black handheld microphone to his mouth and appears to be speaking, while the others listen attentively. Several wear gold pendants and some have gold-coloured beaded necklaces. Behind them, other people in orange and white clothing are seated or standing in a blurred hall. No individual is identified as a person in this frame.2017-05-08July 11 20172017-07-11 +1 copies
