July 08 20172017-07-08A crowded indoor hall with many seated participants on colourful striped mats during a Kalpataru meditation program. Many wear white dhotis and shawls with gold borders, and several boys and girls wear saffron-orange cloths and rudraksha malas. A man in a white shirt sits centre with eyeglasses, a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari bends forward at right, and a standing man at upper left wears a white dhoti and mala. A small child in white sits in front with hands folded. Behind them, a wall displays framed artwork and bright painted imagery. The scene is full of many seated devotees, yet the exact number is hard to fix, so it is best described as a large group.2017-07-08 +1 copiesJuly 08 20172017-07-08A large crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on the floor of a bright hall during a satsang. Many wear white dhotis and shawls with gold borders, and several have rudraksha malas around their necks; some are bare-chested. A man at centre-left wears glasses and a rudraksha mala, and a younger man at centre-right has long hair and a white-and-gold shawl. Tall brass lamps with lit wicks line the front rows, and framed pictures hang on the back wall.
