A large seated assembly of devotees in saffron-orange robes sits on mats in a hall, many wearing orange turbans or headcloths and rudraksha malas. Several have white sacred ash or painted markings on their faces and chests, and some hold small offerings. Plates, a clear container of items and a few brass lamps are placed on the floor. The foreground shows boys and young men in orange garments, with a small child at the bottom edge. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.

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 23 20172017-07-23Photo 11705085April 25 20132013-04-25September 23 20132013-09-23Photo 11734481A group of young shaved-headed ascetics in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps, with rudraksha malas and white tripundra markings on their foreheads, sit on a white floor mat performing a seated ritual. Several hold brass lamps or ritual implements over small plates of fruit and sweets on low wooden stands. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts, some wearing red shawls, sit with hands folded in prayer. The setting looks like a hall with a tiled floor and a blue cloth strip on the floor.2013-11-18July 30 20132013-07-30July 21 20172017-07-21
