He holds a small object in his hands near his chest while a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass bell, a small brass bowl and a white offering on a silver tray lie in front. Other saffron-robed monks with white forehead markings sit behind him in an indoor hall, some with hands raised in mudra. The scene reads as a ritual puja gathering.2013-04-09 +2 copiesOctober 22 20132013-10-22A seated man in orange ochre robes and a long rudraksha mala sits in a puja setting, holding a small brass bell in his right hand and offering with his left, his head bowed in concentration.

Behind him, men in white dhotis and shawls sit in meditation, and a brass plate with flower petals sits on red cloth to his left. The photo is a meditation scene in a satsang setting.2011-02-02
