A large crowd of devotees dressed in saffron and orange robes sits closely together under a thatched-roof pavilion hung with rows of brass bells. Many men have long matted dreadlocks and rudraksha malas; some wear bare-chested with orange shawls. A carved stone pillar with a red and multicoloured sash rises in the centre. At left, a small shrine holds a deity murti and brass lamps. A woman in an orange sari stands at the upper right, and red lights glow overhead during a courtyard satsang session.

Several older men in orange sit among them, and the scene appears to be an evening gathering in a pillared hall. No single individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.2017-09-07July 01 20182018-07-01May 29 20182018-05-29 +3 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29May 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesA crowded temple courtyard hall with red walls, hanging brass bells and a stone pillar in the foreground. Many people seated closely together on the floor wear orange and saffron robes; several have long dark hair, some with matted or braided hair, and a few wear white. In the centre, a figure in red-brown clothing sits at a ritual setup near a small shrine, with a framed deity painting on the wall behind. A string of lights and yellow tassels hang from the beams. People are seated facing the central ritual area, consistent with a group worship session. No individual is clearly identifiable as a particular person from this distance.2018-05-29
