Many have white forehead markings and rudraksha malas around their necks, and they sit before brass and silver plates, small oil lamps, kalasha-style vessels and bells. Some hold their hands together in prayer while others handle items on the trays. Behind them, a larger crowd of devotees in white clothes sits on the floor and in chairs near the back wall, with white curtains and a red curtain in the background. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.2013-04-06 +1 copiesA seated group of shaved-headed men in saffron and deep red robes performs a ritual on a tiled floor covered with mats. Many wear white forehead bands and white body markings, orange-red shawls, and rudraksha malas. Several sit with hands folded or make offerings over small brass lamps, bowls and flower trays arranged before them. Behind them, younger boys in orange clothing and other men in white clothes with malas sit in rows. A red cloth-covered table and a metal plate with brass vessels and flowers stand at the right. Behind and above the group is a blurred crowd of more men in white, with the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style logo at top left. The scene suggests a sitting meditation or puja rite with lamps and offerings.2014-06-02February 28 20132013-02-28Seated row of young male disciples in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings, sitting cross-legged on white mats before small silver plates with brass bowls, oil lamps and offerings.
