Photograph of a seated group of men in an ashram hall wearing white dhotis with yellow borders and white upper cloths, many bare-chested with rudraksha malas and sacred ash on their foreheads. A man in the foreground at left smiles with a large rudraksha mala and red pendant; another in the centre wears a red and white bead mala and a small red bag at his neck. Behind them, people in white and orange move among wooden screens and framed pictures on the wall. No prominent figure matches the appearance cues for a person, so the group reads as devotees and attendees.2017-07-08May 27 20172017-05-27A seated group of men in white dhotis with gold-yellow borders and bare upper bodies fills the frame inside a bright hall with red and gold decorations.
