Several devotees sit cross-legged on an orange cloth with eyes closed or lowered, some with white vibhuti or tilak lines on their foreheads and arms, and several wear rudraksha malas. Behind them stands a man in a white shirt and a standing figure in a yellow-edged shawl, with a few children near the back. Oil lamps and brass offering trays sit at the lower right edge. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person; the seated devotees show no distinctive presentation cues.2011-01-29November 22 20182018-11-22A large seated congregation of men in white dhotis with bare upper bodies, many wearing rudraksha malas and sacred ash or white paint markings on their foreheads, arms and chests, sit closely together during a ritual satsang.
