Six shaved-headed men in white dhotis with gold borders stand in a row on a stage before deep red curtains, reading from pink papers. The man second from the left wears a red turban and an orange cord with a pendant, and the man at far right holds a microphone. Several wear white shawls, sacred ash marks on their foreheads and glasses. A carved golden pillar stands at the right edge. This appears to be a recitation or vow-taking ceremony.2016-05-21Photo 11702377 +1 copiesMarch 25 20172017-03-25October 17 20102010-10-17October 17 20102010-10-17April 22 20162016-04-22May 21 20162016-05-21Jun 20 2017A photograph of a row of seated men in white dhotis with gold borders and orange-red shawls during a devotional gathering.
