A photo of a tiered red stone amphitheatre lined with many black Shivalinga-shaped pillars and brass bowls. About a dozen bare-chested men in white dhotis with rudraksha malas sit meditating or with hands raised on the steps. In the foreground a man with long dreadlocks wears an orange dhoti with gold border and raises one arm, facing the seated group. Two red-orange flags stand beside a chain-link fence at right. A man in a white dhoti with a white-tipped head and ornate necklace stands near the centre, and a bald seated man in white is at left. Ritual setting consistent with a satsang or puja gathering.2016-10-31October 31 20162016-10-31October 31 20162016-10-31 +1 copiesDecember 18 20162016-12-18February 27 20142014-02-27July 17 20172017-07-17 +1 copiesA man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on a woven mat outdoors, eyes closed, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck.

Several hold brass lamps and small vessels on the steps, and red ceremonial flags on poles stand in the foreground behind a metal chain-link fence. Many seated figures wear rudraksha malas and some have bare upper bodies. The mood is a devotional gathering, with people seated in rows facing a central area. No individual can be clearly identified as a person from this distance and appearance.2017-06-26 +1 copiesFebruary 27 20142014-02-27September 01 20172017-09-01 +1 copiesOutdoor scene at a tiered red-brick stepped structure lined with rows of black stone shivalinga and brass vessels.
