Wide view of a large hall with many seated participants in rows on white floor mats. Young boys in orange and maroon robes sit on the left and centre, with white headbands, and each has a brass plate with small brass cups and lamps in front of them. Behind them, adults in white dhotis and shirts sit in dense rows. Near the right foreground, a bald man in saffron/orange robes sits with hands folded, and another man in orange sits near the front right. A white-clad man in the centre seems to be leading the group. Framed portraits hang on the back wall above red curtains, and the hall has bright ceiling lights.

Brass plates with small oil lamps, bowls and offerings sit in front of them, and some hold small items in their hands. Along the walls hang framed banners and red curtains, and a man in white clothing stands at the right edge. The seated group numbers many dozens, so the count range is 21-100 or more; the visible crowd is best described as a sizable assembly of sannyasis and novices.2013-12-08Photo 11714743 +1 copiesDecember 06 20132013-12-06December 07 20132013-12-07Photo 11738080September 23 20132013-09-23A large hall full of seated devotees in orange and saffron robes, many with white sacred markings on their bodies, sitting on mats in rows during a ritual or satsang.
