Outdoor ritual gathering with several young men in saffron-orange dhoti-style wraps sitting on the ground, most with bare chests and white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Three of them smile broadly and raise open palms toward the camera, while a long-haired devotee sits at left. Behind them, a person in an orange wrap stands near a camera on a tripod beside a wicker-covered container on a small wooden table, and a metal pot sits on the ground in front. Plain concrete wall in the background, many other seated people blurred behind, and scattered sandals on the dirt in front.2018-05-24May 24 20182018-05-24 +1 copiesA group of smiling men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls sits on the floor at a festive meal, many with bare chests and rudraksha malas.
