A shaved-headed person sits cross-legged on a white cloth in a prayer pose, palms pressed together at chest level with eyes lowered. They wear rust-red robes with gold-bordered drapes, a rudraksha mala with a small red-and-gold pendant, wire-rimmed glasses, a red bindi, and a gold bangle and wristwatch. Behind them, a second seated person in red robes with rudraksha beads holds a small hand instrument. Brass items sit on the cloth in front: a small brass cup, a bell, a tray holding an orange-and-gold cloth bundle, and a brass plate. The scene suggests a ritual satsang or puja setting.2014-01-10October 06 20142014-10-06October 24 20132013-10-24 +1 copiesApril 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesPhotograph of a bald, shirtless-to-saffron-robed monk seated with palms pressed together in prayer at his face, eyes closed. He wears a white sandalwood forehead mark, a long rudraksha mala, a gold bangle and wristwatch, and an orange-red garment with a gold border. Before him sit an oil lamp, a small brass plate with a cup and an offering on an orange cloth, and loose papers on his lap. Surrounding him, seated devotees and young boys in dark clothes with white headbands also fold their hands, and another monk in saffron sits in the foreground. The scene suggests a satsang or ritual gathering.

The man on the left wears dark-rimmed glasses and a long rudraksha mala over his shoulder, with a beaded bracelet on his upper arm and a horizontal white tilak on his forehead. The man on the right, also wearing glasses and a rudraksha mala, has white ash bands on his forehead and arm, a gold-edged dhoti, and a gold wristwatch, and his hands are folded in his lap. Yellow marigolds lie at the lower left and a small white device sits on a wooden table at the right. A partly visible person in orange robes sits at the far right edge. No recognizable a person candidate is clearly established by the visible cues, so the identity is left uncertain.2014-01-10June 19 20132013-06-19A shaved-headed young man in orange-red robes sits with palms pressed together at his forehead in a prayer gesture. He wears a long orange beaded shawl, a rudraksha mala with a pendant, and a gold bangle, with white sacred ash markings on his forehead and arms. Behind him, several seated children and young boys in red robes with rudraksha malas and white ash marks sit in a row, some with hands folded and others looking aside. Red curtains hang in the background, and a brass ritual vessel is partly visible at the bottom edge.2013-07-29June 14 20132013-06-14A photograph of several young women seated closely together in a hall, praying with palms pressed in anjali mudra.
