A seated man in saffron-orange dhoti and bare chest, with rudraksha malas and white ash markings on his chest and arms, speaks into a handheld microphone while reading from open pages on the floor. Around him, several seated people in saffron and white clothes, some with white forehead tilak and rudraksha beads, listen; a bald man in the left foreground and an older man with white hair are also present. Behind, a crowd of onlookers stands and sits. Framed portraits on a stand in the background show two men, one in saffron-draped attire. A plastic water bottle and small offerings sit on banana leaves before the speaker. The setting is an indoor hall with wooden screens.2016-09-30A photograph of a seated group of young men in orange-saffron dhotis and shawls, many with bare chests, rudraksha malas, gold chain necklaces and white stripes painted on their foreheads and arms. The central young man in the foreground holds a black handheld microphone while speaking, his hand extended toward the group. Several others sit around him in a hall, with framed portraits and pictures on the wall behind, including a framed photograph of an older man in a white shirt and a red chair. Water bottles sit on the floor in front. No candidate for a person is clearly identifiable from appearance in this frame.2016-09-30A photograph of a large seated congregation during a ritual gathering. In the foreground, a row of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged on a mat, many with white sacred ash markings on forehead and arms. The man in the centre holds a black microphone and appears to be leading chanting. Bare-chested participants with rudraksha necklaces and bracelets sit beside them, and yellow flower petals and leaves lie on the mat in front. Behind them, a crowd of people in white and orange clothing fills the hall, some wearing orange and red stoles. No one clearly matches the a person appearance cues, so the a person field is unsure.2016-09-30September 30 20162016-09-30January 26 20172017-01-26May 26 20172017-05-26A photograph of a seated group of young men and boys in saffron-orange dhotis, many bare-chested with white ash stripes on their foreheads and bodies, rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets. A young boy in the centre with long dark hair, holding a microphone and speaking, while a taller young man beside him rests a hand on his shoulder. Other boys sit close around them, and a bald man in the foreground in orange cloth looks down. Behind them a wall is covered with pinned black-and-white and colour portrait photographs, and a framed portrait is visible at the upper left. The setting looks like an indoor satsang or discourse with water bottles and paper cups on the floor.2016-09-30July 25 20172017-07-25 +1 copiesDecember 21 20162016-12-21June 02 20142014-06-02A photograph of a seated satsang gathering in a hall with red-and-beige walls and curtains. In the foreground, a bald man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads sits cross-legged, and beside him a bald man in white with gold-edged dhoti sits with a sandalwood-marked forehead. Rows of devotees in white kurtas and dhotis, many wearing orange or red shawls, sit on blue-striped mats. Some sit with eyes closed in meditation, others take notes, and brass puja items, a pink dish and small bowls lie on the mats. A chair and a person in dark clothing sit at the right edge. No single figure can be confidently identified as a person.2012-09-04June 22 20172017-06-22 +1 copies
