October 20 20132013-10-20A large seated group of devotees in saffron and orange robes sits in rows on a mat, hands pressed together in anjali mudra during a ritual meal or satsang. Many wear rudraksha malas and bindis or tilak, and some have shaved heads. Banana-leaf plates hold food, with small steel cups, water bottles and white flower-like offerings placed between them. Behind them, other people in white clothes sit in the hall, and an oil lamp glows at the left edge. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues alone, so the presence of a candidate is uncertain.2016-07-12December 20 20152015-12-20October 26 20142014-10-26May 25 20132013-05-25October 02 20132013-10-02October 13 20132013-10-13Seated devotees in orange and saffron robes perform a ritual at a long low table covered with a purple cloth, with banana leaves, bowls of food and fruit, and water bottles in the foreground.
