A photograph of a crowded devotional procession or kirtan in a hall with a light-coloured tiled floor. Many participants raise their open hands and arms overhead, chanting or singing in ecstatic devotion. A bare-chested man in the centre wears an orange-saffron dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth, a long rudraksha-style mala and a white forehead mark. Men in white dhotis and white shirts and a man in a red and white shawl appear behind, and women in saffron, orange and purple saris are in the foreground. Framed portraits and decorative umbrellas are visible on the right wall. No single person is clearly identifiable as the a person in this crowd.2016-10-03January 01 20172017-01-01 +1 copiesNovember 16 20162016-11-16October 01 20162016-10-01January 01 20172017-01-01A photograph of a crowded indoor hall where many men in white and saffron-orange dhotis and shawls are dancing with raised arms in an ecstatic group.
