A smiling man with short swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged among a seated crowd. He wears a white dhoti with yellow borders, a bare upper body, and multiple rudraksha malas with a pendant around his neck. A badge on his chest reads shaktipada. Behind him sit other devotees, one in a white garment with a red thread, and a rainbow-striped mat lies beneath him. The setting appears to be a satsang or meditation gathering. The man is not clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone, so the role is described as a devotee.2017-07-08August 14 20162016-08-14A man sits cross-legged on a mat on a polished floor, eyes lifted and gazing upward, in a devotional hall.
