A dense crowd of mostly bare-chested male devotees with white ash marks on their foreheads and bodies fills the frame, many with arms outstretched. In the foreground a man in white dhoti with orange-bordered cloth and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace hands a white cord or thread to a bare-chested man reaching toward him. Other men in white dhotis and shirts stand among the crowd, and white-clad women are visible in the background. Yellow and red striped drapery and white ceiling lights frame the scene.

A large dense crowd of men seated closely together, many bare-chested or in white, wearing white or off-white dhotis and rudraksha or white beaded necklaces around their necks. Many faces are visible in the front rows, some with moustaches and beards, some bald. Behind them, red and white draped fabric and a white-clad figure are partly visible at the top edge. The scene suggests a large satsang or meditation gathering. Several hundred people are present, filling the frame.2017-03-11March 11 20172017-03-11 +1 copiesFebruary 22 20172017-02-22February 22 20172017-02-22Dense crowd of bare-chested male participants seated on striped mats during a Shiva Deeksha initiation at a temple hall.
