He wears white ritual dhoti and shawl with red borders, white tripundra marks on his forehead and arms, a red bindi, and a rudraksha mala with a small gold pendant. Behind him, other white-clad participants sit in meditation or prayer, one in a yellow shawl, with brass lamps, bowls and a kalasha-like vessel visible on the floor. Overall the scene suggests a group puja or meditation in a hall.2010-09-29November 28 20112011-11-28December 21 20122012-12-21Two men sit cross-legged in profile against a deep red curtain on a polished tile floor, eyes closed in meditation. Both wear white dhotis and white shawls edged with gold, with rudraksha malas around their necks and white tilak marks on their foreheads and arms. The nearer man, shaved-headed, has a saffron-orange cloth at his waist; the man behind wears glasses and gold bangles.2011-11-18A photograph of two shaven-headed men in white dhoti-style clothing with red-and-white borders, seated with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed. The man in front wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and a bracelet on his wrist, with white sacred ash marks across his forehead and a small red tilak. Behind him, a second man also has his palms joined and wears a white cloth over his shoulder with a mala. Their faces are in profile and sincere in prayer, with a wooden cabinet and orange-brown wall behind them.2010-10-16December 20 20122012-12-20A close photograph of a shaved-headed man in white ritual dress sitting cross-legged with palms pressed together at chest level and eyes closed in prayer. He wears a rudraksha mala, a gold bangle, and a white cloth with red and gold borders. Behind him, several men in white robes sit in similar prayerful postures, one with a rudraksha mala and a bare upper torso. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang or meditation gathering. The man in front shows no distinctive a person cues beyond white ritual clothing, so his identity is unsure.2011-02-23November 06 20132013-11-06
