A bald monk on the left wears orange with a red border, glasses, a red tilak and a beaded necklace. Behind him a long-haired figure in orange with a rudraksha-style mala stands near the centre, and several other orange-robed monks gather around. Shoes are lined along the walls and a potted plant sits in the corner. A white-clad attendant stands at right, and a bearded elder in orange is at centre. Beyond the arch, white-clad people and a corrugated roof are visible. Dispersed monks suggest an ashram gathering rather than a formal ceremony.2009-12-30September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesMay 05 20162016-05-05September 10 20152015-09-10 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20152015-09-14A large crowd fills a white tent hall with decorative paper tassels and lanterns hanging from the ceiling.
