A large seated audience of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis sits cross-legged on a red-orange floor mat in a bright hall, facing a stage out of frame. Many wear dark rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and small name badges on their shirts. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt sits with his hands folded, and small brass oil lamps with lit wicks, steel tumblers, a water bottle, open notebooks and coloured plastic containers sit on the mat before them. Rows of attendees extend to the back of the room, where a saffron and white cloth hangs at the right edge.2010-11-14November 14 20102010-11-14A photograph of a seated congregation in white clothing during an indoor gathering. Many men sit cross-legged in rows on a purple mat with a striped border, eyes closed or lowered in meditation. The foreground man on the left wears white kurta-style clothes, wire-rimmed glasses, a moustache and a long rudraksha mala, with hands clasped. Another man in front wears a white shirt and holds his hands together. No figure stands out with a distinctive saffron or ornate presentation, and no one is clearly identifiable as a person. White plastic chairs are visible behind the rows. The scene suggests satsang or meditation.2006-12-10A large seated congregation of men in plain white shirts and white dhoti-style clothing sits closely packed on the floor during a satsang. Many wear dark rudraksha-style beaded malas around their necks and white identity badges on lanyards. Some hold small books, and one man on the left raises a hand. Pink and blue plastic containers sit in the foreground and a faint haze fills the air. No single speaker is clearly identifiable in the frame, so no a person candidate is visible.2010-11-14A large seated audience of men fills a hall during an evening satsang meditation session.

One man in the front row wears a white shirt with a forehead mark, and an older bearded man sits in the middle rows. A deity murti stands in a decorated alcove at the upper right beside a saffron-robed figure, and red curtains hang behind. The floor reflects the seated rows.

The image shows no clearly identifiable candidate for a person in the visible crowd.2006-10-07November 22 20152015-11-22
