Many shaved-headed young sannyasi-style boys and some adult men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged, with white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Several hold brass lamps, a small kalasha-like vessel and ritual implements, and offering plates with fruit and flowers sit in front of them. Behind them a large banner shows a smiling figure in an orange turban and saffron robe, and a man in white dhoti with a shawl plays a trumpet at right. Appears to be a ritual abhishekam or puja in progress, with a ceremonial setting and the banner in the background.2013-07-29April 08 20132013-04-08A large group of women seated on the floor in a hall during a lamp-lighting ritual, many wearing saffron-orange and red saris with rudraksha malas and white tilak markings on their foreheads, holding small oil lamps (diyas) and offering dishes. Behind them rows of people in white clothing sit on the floor between white metal crowd-control posts, and a red-draped table stands at the back of the room. A circular blue logo appears at the upper left. The scene suggests a satsang-style gathering with ritual lamp offerings.2014-04-20August 16 20142014-08-16August 02 20132013-08-02A photograph of a seated group of devotees performing a ritual in a hall with a tiled white floor. In the foreground, a woman in a rust-red sari with a rudraksha mala holds a lit oil lamp, and a woman in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala lifts a lamp, with a brass plate of offerings and incense sticks before them. To the right, a woman in a red sari holds a small brass plate with flowers. Behind them, many devotees in white, orange and red garments with white sandalwood or vibhuti markings sit in rows holding lamps and plates, while small oil lamps and offering dishes are arranged on the floor. Their appearance does not clearly match any identifiable a person candidate, so no such candidate is named.2014-06-19July 30 20132013-07-30August 22 20142014-08-22Large ritual gathering of devotees seated on the floor in a hall, many in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with rudraksha malas and white horizontal sacred marks on their bodies.
