Outdoor photo of a seated group meditating on a sandy ground ringed with grey ash, among large grey stone sculptures of deities and a stone naga-hooded figure, with palm trees and a white wall behind. In the foreground, a man with long hair and a rudraksha mala wears a bright orange robe and sits in meditation on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, with a brass kalasha in front of him. Behind him, four more people in white and cream clothing sit in meditation, some with eyes closed, one wearing an orange shawl. The scene suggests a meditation session or darshan at an outdoor shrine area.

A large dark stone Nandi bull with flower garlands sits on a white plinth behind him. To the right, a seated man in white clothes and a yellow shawl sits with hands folded, a brass plate before him. Other seated people in white and yellow shawls are in the background, with palm fronds in the foreground. A small brass lamp sits near the central figure. The central figure has a rudraksha mala and orange robes; the orange-robed figure is an appearance-based candidate, but the cues are not distinctive enough for a confident identification.2010-07-15June 27 20102010-06-27July 11 20102010-07-11A photo of a group meditation outdoors on a dusty ground with a small pile of grey ash or stone chips.
