July 08 20132013-07-08November 02 20132013-11-02A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in a bright hall with a red curtain and framed portrait at left. A central man wears a rust-orange and gold turban, a gold-trimmed saffron wrap, a long gold-and-bead necklace and rudraksha mala, and holds a folded white paper while smiling at a woman in a pink and green-yellow salwar with a brown shawl who gestures toward him. Behind them a crowd of men in white and dark shirts stands in a queue behind a silver barrier. At right a man in a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads stands beside him, and at left a shaven-headed man in orange robes watches.
