Many wear white dhotis or kurtas with gold-bordered yellow edges and orange-red shawls, some with rudraksha malas and a few with yellow-orange tilak on their foreheads. In the foreground, a bald older man in white sits with hands pressed together in prayer, a man in white with a red shawl touches his forehead in devotion, and a younger man with a tilak holds his hands folded. Behind them the crowd continues across the hall, with some participants in orange and red clothing and a few hands raised in meditative poses. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.2015-10-11July 08 20172017-07-08July 18 20132013-07-18October 30 20162016-10-30July 08 20172017-07-08 +1 copiesA seated satsang gathering in a hall with cream walls and ornate panels.
