In the foreground, several shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl sit cross-legged with rudraksha malas; the central man has a red bindi, white tilak stripes on his head and chest, and keeps his eyes closed in meditation with hands held together. Beside him, another man in orange and a younger boy in a dark shawl sit with eyes closed or hands folded. Behind them, many bare-chested devotees in white and grey clothing sit in rows, with oil lamps glowing at left. Appearance-based cues for a person presence are not clearly visible, so no specific candidate is identified.2017-01-08March 17 20132013-03-17February 02 20132013-02-02June 02 20142014-06-02October 11 20132013-10-11September 22 20132013-09-22A seated group of ashram students and priests performs a ritual chanting session in a hall.
