Many are clapping with palms together, some smiling, and several are seated on mats with a glimpse of a red or orange-robed figure among them. The scene suggests a satsang-style assembly; the crowd is dense, filling the frame from front to back.2017-05-27 +1 copiesOctober 24 20112011-10-24May 18 20172017-05-18A photograph of a seated group of men in an indoor hall, most bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas and white dhotis with gold-yellow borders.
