A seated group on a red carpet before a dark red curtain. On the left, a shaved-headed man in saffron-and-gold robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a metal stool. Beside him, another shaved-headed man in orange robes with white forehead markings and a rudraksha mala presses his palms together. Further right, a shaved-headed man in orange robes gestures with a hand to his cheek. At far right, a smiling man in white kurta and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-trimmed stool. Other white-clad people sit in the background. No visible a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance, so the figures are described by role.

Three men in front wear saffron-orange cloth and rudraksha malas, with white ash horizontal markings on their foreheads and arms. They sit cross-legged on a red mat, one with hands folded, behind a low table holding brass lamps, a kalasha-style brass vessel, flower petals, a conch shell and offering bowls. Behind them, seated devotees in white clothing and a man in a red shawl watch the ritual, with a woman in a white shirt at right.2013-10-09May 08 20122012-05-08September 10 20122012-09-10A group of saffron-robed monastics gathers in a plain room with cream walls. In the centre-left, a smiling man sits bare-shouldered in orange cloth with a red-and-gold headband, layered rudraksha and bead malas, a gold necklace and a red bindi, with a bangle-like bead band on his upper arm. Beside him, an elderly bald man with white ash markings sits bare-chested, wearing a large bead mala and a gold ornament, his arm resting on his knee. Standing monks behind them wear orange robes and gold and rudraksha necklaces, and a monk at the left edge holds a hand near the seated man's arm. The scene resembles a satsang or ritual gathering.2012-05-18
