A large seated audience of devotees in white ritual clothing, many with orange-red shawls and rudraksha malas, fills a hall at a Shuddhadvaitam program. In the foreground a man with long wavy hair and a bare upper body wrapped in an orange shawl raises one hand to his head. Beside him a bald smiling man in white with an orange-red scarf and beads looks toward the stage, and a man in white with an orange-yellow-trimmed garment and an orange mala sits at right.
