A shaved-headed man sits cross-legged in an orange-red sannyasi robe with a gold-bordered cloth, wearing rimmed glasses, a red bindi and white horizontal tilak marks, and layered rudraksha malas across his chest and upper arms. His eyes are closed and his hands rest in a meditative mudra or chant posture. Behind him, two boys with white tilak marks sit in red clothing. On the floor before him is a gold cloth with a brass cup, a small brass bowl with offerings, a brass lamp and a clear plastic container. Appearance cues are limited to a shaved head, glasses and robe, so the identity is uncertain.

A second orange-robed person's hand is visible at left, and another hand and seated devotees in orange appear at the edges, with a brass vessel at lower right. The page indicates a satsang, but the image itself shows a ritual gathering rather than a named event.2013-03-03April 28 20152015-04-28April 04 20132013-04-04April 04 20132013-04-04October 24 20132013-10-24 +1 copiesFebruary 04 20132013-02-04July 07 20132013-07-07October 04 20132013-10-04A seated man with a shaved head, wearing a white horizontal forehead marking with a red dot, closes his eyes while holding white flower petals in cupped hands. He wears a maroon sleeveless robe with gold trim and multiple strands of orange and dark rudraksha malas around his neck, plus a rudraksha band on his upper arm and a ring on one finger. A second person in orange clothing is partly visible behind him. The setting appears to be a ritual, with the man reciting or chanting while offering petals. a person is identified by the distinctive rudraksha malas and saffron-maroon sannyasi robes shown in the photo, yet the shaved head and forehead marking do not clearly match long swept-back hair, so the appearance is uncertain.2013-04-04 +1 copiesAugust 16 20142014-08-16
