A photograph of two men in a plain peach-walled room. On the left, a man with short black hair and a moustache wears a white collared shirt and a rudraksha mala, his hands pressed together in prayer. On the right, a man with swept-back hair and a tilak on his forehead wears an orange robe under a cream shawl with gold border, and a garland of red roses, white flowers and yellow marigolds. He holds a sheet of paper and reads from it while the left man bows, and his right hand rests on the bowed man's head. A speaker is mounted on the wall above them. The gesture suggests blessing during a puja, with a printed page in hand.2011-08-14August 14 20112011-08-14November 03 20112011-11-03A photograph of an indoor satsang gathering.
