May 25 20132013-05-25Close side view of a shaven-headed man in an orange cloth wrap with a rudraksha mala, seated cross-legged with eyes closed and white stripes on his arms and forehead. Behind him a second man in orange sits with palms pressed together in prayer, and more seated figures in white stand blurred in the background. Brass items and offerings lie on the floor at right, consistent with a satsang or meditation setting. The visible man appears to be a disciple or sannyasi; no appearance-based candidate for the teacher is clearly visible.2011-02-11July 30 20132013-07-30A shaved-headed man in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed, a red bindi on his forehead. He wears a red-bordered orange shawl, rudraksha mala beads, a gold bangle and a wristwatch. Behind him, men in white dhotis sit in meditation, and brass plates of offerings and flowers are visible on a red cloth in the lower left.

The foreground figure wears an orange saffron wrap draped over his shoulder, a rudraksha mala around his neck and beaded bracelets, with white sacred ash lines on his forehead and white stripes painted across his bare upper arm and chest. Beside him, a second man in an orange wrap sits with eyes closed, and a row of others in orange clothing sits behind on a white cloth before ritual offerings and small lamps. A blurred crowd fills the background of this hall. No clear identity cue for a person is established by appearance, so the foreground devotees are described by role only.2017-01-12Several men sit in a devotional setting with palms pressed together in anjali mudra and eyes closed.
