A monk in orange robes sits in the foreground with a mala, and a bald man in white stands on the far left of the shrine area. Several figures move among the seated crowd, and a robed attendant stands in the background near the shrine.2017-09-27Photo 11712992A seated group of devotees in a hall performs a ritual gesture, several touching their foreheads or eyes with raised hands.
