In the centre, a man with long dreadlocks, bare-chested and wearing a white dhoti with gold border, sits with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed, a white horizontal tilak and a red dot on his forehead. Others around him, also bare-chested with white ash markings, rudraksha malas and white dhotis, sit with hands folded. Small oil lamps flicker on the floor in the lower left, and a brass vessel stands nearby. The central man has distinctive long dreadlocks and rudraksha cues, but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no specific identification is made.2017-02-10January 26 20172017-01-26October 03 20182018-10-03January 03 20172017-01-03January 03 20172017-01-03A seated group of men in white dhotis with bare upper bodies sits in a row on blue mats during a ritual gathering in a warmly lit hall. The man in front, with hair tied in a topknot, wears a red-and-green rudraksha mala, a gold bangle and a hoop earring, and presses his palms together in anjali with eyes closed. Others behind him sit in similar prayer postures with white sacred markings on their bodies. Small oil lamps and red offerings sit on the floor, and a lit altar with a deity murti glows at the upper right.2017-01-03January 18 20172017-01-18June 23 20182018-06-23January 15 20172017-01-15
