A large crowd of mostly young boys and men seated in rows inside a hall, dressed in white clothes with white tilak markings on foreheads, hands pressed together in namaskar or holding small offerings while eyes are closed in prayer. Some older men in green and dark clothing sit in front, one with a bare upper body and a sacred thread. Yellow oil lamps stand along the rows, and framed paintings hang on the pale back wall above a low platform. The scene suggests a group programme or satsang.2017-02-19December 13 20072007-12-13August 21 20112011-08-21March 07 20162016-03-07A large indoor hall packed with hundreds of seated devotees, mostly men in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing red or orange shawls and rudraksha or prayer beads, with lanyard badges around their necks.
