A photograph of young male sannyasi-style disciples seated cross-legged on low silver-topped platforms during a ritual. They wear orange-saffron robes and white vertical marks on their foreheads; several wear dark rudraksha malas. Brass bells, oil lamps, small brass cups, plates of fruit and sweets, and white flowers sit before them on the platforms. One boy in the foreground has his hands folded, eyes closed, while others look forward or sit with bowed heads. Behind them, orange-clad figures and a few spectators are partly visible against a light background. No central figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the scene shows disciples in a puja or satsang setting.2013-05-09October 16 20132013-10-16A group of young men in saffron-orange dhoti and shawls sit cross-legged on the floor during a ritual.
