Dozens of devotees sit on the ground in the foreground, their backs to the camera.

Two ornate decorated palanquin-style structures with gold and red canopies stand near the middle of the space, and a figure in orange clothing stands beside one of them.

A large crowd of several hundred people sits cross-legged on the ground in white dhotis and white garments, many with bare upper bodies, facing the stage. On the stage, figures in orange and saffron robes stand near a decorated backdrop with a painted deity murti, with what appears to be a ritual setup in front. Watchers stand along the edges of the ground near fencing. A small group of performers is visible at the stage. The scene suggests a ritual or satsang setting, with the seated assembly centered in the frame.2017-02-21March 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesFebruary 21 20172017-02-21 +1 copiesPhoto 11714983February 21 20172017-02-21May 21 20172017-05-21Night-time outdoor ritual under a corrugated metal roof with tall decorative banners at the sides.
