A standing figure in an orange dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a lit flame in hand, moves down the row performing aarti before the seated men. Many seated sadhus wear orange and saffron cloth, orange turbans and pink flower adornments, with white and grey beards and vibhuti marks. Paper cups of water sit beside each leaf, and a tall painted banner behind reads Sree Nithyananda Namaha. Scattered petals lie on the floor. Roughly twenty-five to thirty people are visible in the scene.2011-01-16September 14 20152015-09-14September 20 20152015-09-20
