Photograph of a seated group during a ritual in a hall. In the foreground, several men sit cross-legged in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas, white tilak markings on their foreheads and arms, and brass puja vessels and offering bowls laid on low tables before them. The man at far right wears white clothing with a red shawl and glasses, hands clasped in prayer. Behind them, other devotees sit in the background.2014-09-07June 04 20132013-06-04Devotees sit cross-legged on a polished floor in a bright hall, hands pressed in anjali and eyes closed in prayer. In the foreground, two shaven-headed men in rust-orange cloth wrap their shoulders, with white horizontal tilaka on their foreheads and arms, and rudraksha malas around their necks; one has a red bindi-style mark. Brass bowls, small oil lamps, a lit incense stick and flower petals are set on a pink cloth before them. Behind, more men in orange and saffron garments sit in rows, some bare-chested, and a red and yellow cloth lies to the right. Appears to be a group chanting or puja session. No clear appearance-based candidate is recognizable with sufficient cues, so the identity remains uncertain.2017-01-11April 18 20142014-04-18January 23 20132013-01-23January 11 20172017-01-11Devotees seated on a polished floor perform a puja.

Each wears a rudraksha mala and white horizontal tilaka marks on the forehead and upper arms. The man at left holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a small brass vessel sits near the front. Another seated man in orange robes sits centrally with hands folded. Behind them a standing and seated audience in white and grey clothing is partially visible. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the seated monastic participants are described by role only.2013-04-14Several shaven-headed monks in saffron and orange robes sit in a row with palms pressed together in anjali mudra at a satsang.
