Men wear white shirts and cream or white dhotis, several with vibhuti or kumkum marks on their foreheads, and some wear rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces. Ashram identification badges hang on lanyards from some shirts. Behind them, temple pillars and a hanging lamp are visible. No clearly distinctive a person candidate is visible among the seated people, so the a person field is unsure. Several devotees are seen from the side and back, and the scene reflects a satsang or meditation gathering during the Ananda Samajam event.2007-02-24December 08 20132013-12-08A seated group ritual in a hall with pale cream walls and a cloth canopy overhead.
