May 24 20182018-05-24A photograph of a large indoor gathering in a hall with yellow walls and wooden panels. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair, a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a vibhuti mark on his forehead sits on an ornate orange-cushioned throne, smiling, with a silver trident beside him. Around him, many devotees in white and saffron/orange clothes sit with both hands resting on their heads in a group posture, with wrists and arms crossing overhead. Most faces are partially hidden by the raised arms. Several people wear beaded necklaces and gold-coloured bangles. The scene suggests a group practice led from the throne. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, so appearance is a probable match to a person but cues are not fully certain from this view.2014-12-28A dense seated gathering of many devotees in saffron-orange cloth draped over bare shoulders, most with red headbands tied over their eyes, sitting on a marble floor among gold-topped posts. In the foreground a young man with long dark hair, white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala holds a paper, while others hold notebooks and wear beaded malas and white garments.
