A seated group chanting in a large hall with many devotees behind them. In the foreground, a man in a white kurta wears an orange-yellow turmeric forehead mark and a long orange sash printed with dark script, with a lanyard badge around his neck, eyes closed as he chants. Beside him, a young man bare-chested with a white cloth draped over his shoulders wears long rudraksha malas and a white forehead mark, eyes closed. A young girl in the lower left, in an orange and gold garment, faces forward with a yellow forehead mark, and an elderly man in an orange shawl with a yellow forehead mark sits behind. The crowd is dressed in white and orange.2016-07-04August 09 20172017-08-09A bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair, a white tilak on his forehead, rudraksha malas and a saffron-orange shawl touches the crown of a kneeling devotee's head with his right hand. The devotee wears a white shirt, an orange-and-black patterned shawl, a gold bracelet and a ring, and presses his palms together in prayer. Behind them, other people in white dhotis with orange shawls stand, and a gold-decorated wall forms the backdrop. A man holding a slip of paper stands nearby. The scene suggests a blessing or pada puja style ritual touch. The central figure is a person, identified by long swept-back dreadlocks, a rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, in the role of a ritual blesser.2017-08-09 +1 copiesSeated devotees in a crowded hall, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Most wear white kurta-style clothes with orange-red shawls printed with dark script. A bearded man in the center wears a red tilak, a wooden mala and an orange lanyard, with eyes closed. Other devotees, including a man with glasses on the right and women in the background, sit in similar white and orange attire. No central figure in saffron or ornate dress is visible in the frame.2015-10-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a beard, bare-chested, wearing an orange-brown wrap and a brown rudraksha mala around his neck, pressing his palm to the forehead of a devotee in a white shirt. The devotee has eyes closed and a smear of ash on his forehead, and a long orange scarf printed with script hangs around his neck, which the man holds. Behind them stands a white-robed attendant, a red curtain and a golden pillar frame the setting, and an ID lanyard hangs from the devotee. The man's appearance (long hair, rudraksha, orange wrap) is consistent with the page's identification of a person, but the face-based identity is uncertain.2016-06-27 +1 copiesMay 09 20142014-05-09September 02 20142014-09-02October 10 20162016-10-10May 05 20142014-05-05A seated group of devotees in meditation at a satsang gathering.
