Night-time photo of a courtyard where a group of initiates sit in rows, most bare-chested with rudraksha malas and white dhotis bordered in gold-yellow. Many wear red or gold blindfolds and have white markings on their faces and bodies. Some sit on white plastic chairs while a young man in front sits cross-legged on an orange mat, one hand raised near his face. Behind them, a row of younger boys in orange garments and malas sits on the stone floor. Dark wet patches mark the paving and green leafy plants with pink flowers frame the lower right. Nobody in the scene is identified as a specific person.2018-06-04June 04 20182018-06-04 +1 copiesJune 23 20172017-06-23June 04 20182018-06-04June 23 20172017-06-23June 23 20172017-06-23 +1 copiesDecember 02 20162016-12-02September 26 20172017-09-26 +1 copiesLarge group of devotees seated cross-legged in rows on colourful striped woven mats outdoors, many with bare upper bodies wearing white dhotis with gold-orange borders and white shoulder cloths.
