Others on either side wear orange robes and bead malas, some with white sandalwood marks on their faces and arms. Brass puja plates, a small brass lamp, flowers and a kalasha-like vessel sit on a low wooden stand in front, indicating a puja or satsang. Six or more people are visible.2016-08-11May 08 20172017-05-08Photograph of a ritual puja in a hall.

In the foreground a young man with long dreadlocked hair, bare-chested, wearing a white sacred thread, rudraksha-style pendant necklace and white ash lines on his forehead and arms, prays with focus. Beside him a young girl with white forehead markings and orange cloth, and a second bare-chested man in orange garments, also pray.

Both gesture with their hands over a wooden tray holding small bowls and brass vessels, and oil lamps flicker around them. Behind them, more participants in orange robes sit with lamps and offering trays. The scene resembles a puja or aarti. Neither man's appearance clearly matches the page's claim that a person is present, so they are described by role only.2017-02-02 +1 copiesSeveral shaved-headed young boys in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a mat in prayer, palms pressed together at chest level. Each has white vibhuti or sacred marks across the forehead and upper arms. The two foreground boys wear rudraksha malas; the left one wears silver bangles. Behind them, other devotees with palms joined are seated, and a small lit oil lamp flame glows at lower left among ritual items. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang or puja gathering.2013-04-14 +1 copiesMay 05 20132013-05-05August 04 20172017-08-04A photograph of seated shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, many with white vibhuti stripes on forehead and arms, pressing palms together in namaskar during a ritual gathering.
