Many participants wear white dhotis and shawls with tilak markings and rudraksha malas, and several sit with hands folded in prayer or namaskar. Some men hold small brass vessels and pots near the front. Lanyards with name badges are visible on several people. A blue wall sign and an Om-emblazoned shirt appear among the crowd. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person from the visible cues, so no in-person candidate is asserted.2010-12-02March 05 20162016-03-05July 11 20112011-07-11Photo 11692132A photograph of a large group of men seated cross-legged on pink cushions in a hall, performing a ritual with hands joined in anjali. They wear white dhotis with yellow-gold borders and are bare-chested with white sacred ash marks on their foreheads and bodies; some wear rudraksha malas. A brass oil lamp and small ritual items sit on a mat in front. Behind them, a glowing illuminated deity murti stands on an altar with red drapery. Several participants have long hair and some have shaved heads. The atmosphere is that of a group puja or meditation session.2017-01-01Photo 11692127A seated group of devotees in white dhotis and white shirts sits on red mats in a hall with pink-and-green cushions stacked along the back wall.
