Photo of an initiation session in a hall with a red curtain. Dozens of disciples in orange robes sit cross-legged on the floor facing a golden throne decorated with ornate gold carvings and deity figures. A figure with long dark curly hair in orange cloth sits on the throne writing in a notebook, a person figure, the central presider, though the appearance is only partly visible. Several seated disciples are shaved-headed monks, others have long hair in braids. Ornate gold statues and a red cushion are in front, with a flower arrangement at the lower left.

A photograph of a monastic initiation ceremony in a hall with a white tiled wall and red curtains. Rows of seated initiates in saffron-orange robes sit on the floor, many with shaved heads and rudraksha malas. Several long-haired women in orange robes with braids sit in the foreground. On the right, a golden throne-like seat with ornate gold lion and figure carvings holds a figure in orange robes with long dark hair, seated and reading or writing from a small book, with a gold kalasha-like vessel nearby. A standing attendant in orange holds a long staff on the right. A yellow banner hangs at top left. Ceremony appears to be a Kailaasa monastic brahmacharya training session.2006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22October 11 20172017-10-11August 22 20062006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22September 19 20162016-09-19August 22 20062006-08-22
