Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel, small brass cups and offering plates with flowers and kumkum stand on low mats in front of them. Behind them, more devotees in white and cream saris sit in an indoor hall, some with folded hands and eyes closed. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this frame, so this appears to be a group satsang or puja gathering.2013-11-13Photo 11731855 +1 copiesJuly 23 20132013-07-23August 20 20162016-08-20A packed hall of devotees sits cross-legged on floor mats in prayer, most with palms pressed together.
