A large group of seated devotees in white dhotis and saffron-red shawls sits in rows on pink and white mats outdoors, eyes closed or lowered in meditation, beside a red stone shrine with marigold garlands hung on its base. Several men wear rudraksha malas, and some have sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Palm trees and plants frame the courtyard behind them, and a red pillar stands at right. Many more devotees stand in white at the back. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person candidate from appearance alone, so the central presence is communal seated worship at a temple precinct.2017-09-27July 25 20172017-07-25 +1 copiesJuly 25 20172017-07-25June 26 20172017-06-26 +1 copiesSeptember 16 20152015-09-16 +1 copiesSeptember 10 20122012-09-10May 24 20132013-05-24A photograph of a seated group of men in white dhotis and shawls performing a ritual in a hall with orange and green hanging banners.
