Indoor photo of a silent meditation session in a hall with cream walls and framed pictures. A man with a tall dark turban-like hair wrap and a rust-orange robe sits on a brown leather throne-style armchair, holding a small object near his mouth. Seated on the floor in front of him, a shaven-headed person in an orange robe faces away. Around them, many participants in white clothes and red-orange shawls sit blindfolded with red and white headbands tied around their eyes, some holding water bottles. A pink water bottle sits on an orange-draped low table. Probable Swamiji is the man in the throne, whose appearance shows long hair, saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala. He is seated and directing the group in silence.2016-02-20May 21 20182018-05-21October 23 20152015-10-23July 06 20152015-07-06July 11 20152015-07-11 +3 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial moment: a smiling man with swept-back dark hair, white vertical tilak on his forehead, a red-and-pink flower garland, and a bare upper body wrapped in saffron-orange cloth, extends his right hand to the crown of a bald, smiling man in a white shirt and white trousers who bows forward. The bald man is holding an orange-red shawl printed with small script and a gold bangle is visible on his wrist.
