A crowd of young saffron-clad disciples sits closely together in a temple courtyard, many wearing orange turbans and rudraksha malas over orange cloth. Several have white and ochre tilak markings on their foreheads. Behind them stands an ornate silver palanquin-style seat with carved floral decoration, and a brass vessel rests on a stone pillar base. Orange draped fabric and paper bunting hang across the pavilion, with greenery and a red-walled building in the background. Some disciples look toward the front while others chat and gesture. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, and the page's reference to him is not supported by a visible candidate.

Several sit cross-legged on the floor in front of an ornate carved wooden throne-like seat with a brass kalasha and a small Ganesha figure nearby. Behind them stands a red-walled building with a wooden door and pillars, and a few more people in orange move about in the background. Some participants wear gold ornaments and bangles; one wears glasses and a white dhoti-style garment. The atmosphere suggests an ashram satsang or ritual assembly.2017-08-08 +2 copiesAugust 08 20172017-08-08August 08 20172017-08-08 +2 copiesAugust 08 20172017-08-08 +1 copiesAugust 08 20172017-08-08 +1 copiesAugust 08 20172017-08-08August 08 20172017-08-08 +2 copiesA crowded outdoor courtyard gathering of devotees in saffron-orange clothing, many wearing orange turbans and rudraksha malas.
