Photograph of a crowded devotional gathering in an ornate hall where many people wear saffron-orange turbans and orange dhoti-style cloths. In the centre a bare-chested man with long dark hair and a crown-like orange turban wears a heavy rudraksha mala and a ceremonial metal pendant, holding cupped hands with pale green prasadam while another orange-clad woman feeds him from her hand. White markings are on his arm and shoulder, and around him other orange-clad devotees hold similar offerings. Behind them are a golden latticed wall and pink-and-yellow decorations, typical of a Krishna Janmashtami naivedyam offering.2017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14September 19 20172017-09-19 +1 copiesAugust 14 20172017-08-14Three young men in saffron-orange turbans and draped orange robes stand close together, each holding handfuls of a yellow-white food offering.
