July 12 20132013-07-12July 12 20132013-07-12 +1 copiesA photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a red-draped backdrop. In the centre, a man in saffron and orange robes with a matching orange-and-gold turban, a gold-and-rudraksha necklace, rudraksha mala beads and gold armbands holds a small white paper and reaches out to touch the forehead of a devotee with folded hands. Other devotees in white and maroon clothing stand nearby, and a man in white with a yellow-bordered dhoti stands at the right edge. Several more people are visible in the background. Only the centre figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues consistent with the page's reference, so the identity is uncertain and described by role here.2013-07-07December 03 20112011-12-03A photograph of a hall with pink walls and ceiling lights.
