A large seated congregation fills a hall during a satsang, with many participants in white clothing and orange-red shawls draped over their shoulders, several wearing rudraksha malas. Men on the left and centre are bare-chested or in white dhotis, while women wear white saris and white tops. Most attendees sit cross-legged on white floor mats with their backs to the camera, facing a stage at the upper right under framed pictures on the wall. A standing fan stands at the right edge and a red wooden door is visible at the top centre. No individual figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone.

In the foreground a bare-chested man with curly dark hair sits with eyes closed and hands together, wearing a gold-toned pendant. Around him women in white and men in white sit cross-legged, several with eyes closed in meditation. Water bottles and a small kalasha-like vessel sit on the floor. A bright red-and-gold backdrop is visible behind the crowd. The scene appears to be a satsang or initiation gathering. No one in the image is clearly identified as a person by appearance.2017-07-02 +1 copiesJuly 06 20172017-07-06 +1 copiesA packed indoor hall of seated devotees in white and cream ritual clothes with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, many wearing rudraksha and bead malas. Several bare-chested men in the front row wear red-orange garlands and white dhotis, some with painted markings on their chests. Women in white saris and salwar sets sit among them, some wearing glasses and bindis. A wooden doorway with a red-painted frame stands in the background. The seated crowd fills the frame closely, with blurred heads in the foreground. No single figure presents with the clear, multiple cues needed to identify a person candidate, so the appearance is uncertain.2017-07-05 +1 copiesJuly 05 20172017-07-05 +1 copiesJuly 06 20172017-07-06July 05 20172017-07-05 +1 copiesA large crowd of devotees sits closely packed on the floor of a bright hall during a satsang gathering.

A woman in a pale cream sari with orange border sits near the centre, and a man on the right has long hair and a saffron wrap with rudraksha beads. Tall brass lamps stand along the back left.

Women in white saris and white tops sit among them, some with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders and sandalwood-coloured tilaks on their foreheads. A woman in front wears large black-framed glasses and stick-out tongue expression. The crowd fills the frame, with several people partly hidden at the bottom edge.

In the foreground, several young people wear saffron-orange cloths and rudraksha malas, sitting cross-legged on orange mats; a woman in front has her hands pressed together in prayer and another wears a white headband. Rows behind them hold more participants in white dhotis and white shawls, many seated on white chairs and orange mats. Garlands and bright cloth hangings decorate the upper wall. No one at the front can be confidently identified as the a person, so no candidate is marked.2018-05-21
