A seated group meditation or satsang in a bright hall, with devotees sitting cross-legged on blue and green mats. In the foreground, a shaven-headed young man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl wears a long rudraksha mala and holds his hands in a mudra over his lap. Beside him, bare-chested men with white sacred ash markings on their chests and foreheads sit in meditation, some in white dhotis with gold borders. Small oil lamps and brass vessels rest on the floor in front, and a woman in a teal top sits in the background.

In the foreground, a man with a shaved head and a rudraksha mala wears a saffron-orange cloth and holds a small brass bell and lamp near brass vessels and flowers on a blue mat. Beside him, another man in orange and a rudraksha-beaded necklace holds a small brass lamp. Other participants in white dhotis sit behind, some holding incense sticks and brass oil lamps, and a bare-chested man with a crown-like tilak on his forehead sits at the back. A brown cloth bag on the left shows a printed turbaned figure. Oil lamps, a conch and offerings sit before them.2017-01-07January 12 20172017-01-12January 07 20172017-01-07A seated man in an orange dhoti and bare chest, wearing a rudraksha mala across his torso and a pendant necklace, holds a small brass bell and a spoon-like ritual implement over a low brass-and-copper puja setup on a red cloth. He has white sacred ash markings on his forehead and arms. Behind him, many devotees sit cross-legged on mats in a hall, several bare-chested with white ash markings, others in red or white clothing. Small oil lamps and brass vessels are arranged on the floor in front of him. The man's appearance with a rudraksha mala and orange garment does not clearly match the page's claim of a person's presence, so no appearance-based identification is made.2017-01-08January 07 20172017-01-07January 12 20172017-01-12A group of seated men in an indoor hall perform a ritual with small oil lamps and brass bowls set on the floor before them. The foreground man on the right wears an orange saffron wrap, a long rudraksha mala and bracelets, and holds a lamp. Beside him, a younger man in an orange cloth and beaded necklace also holds a lamp. Others in white dhotis with bare upper bodies and white-painted forehead markings sit behind them. Marigold-like petals and flowers lie on a cloth at lower left, next to a framed printed portrait of a turbaned man with a drawn, decorative border. Fluorescent lights and a bulletin board appear on the wall behind.2017-01-07January 12 20172017-01-12January 12 20172017-01-12
