Photograph of a group of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps, many bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas, gathered closely in an outdoor setting with green foliage behind. In the centre, a smiling man with a shaved head holds a dark beaded mala and wears a red-brown wrist band, while a man in front in an orange dhoti points with his finger. Other devotees with bare shoulders crowd around, some wearing white dhotis with gold borders. No figure with distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown or ornate gold regalia is clearly visible, so the identity of any person remains unconfirmed.2017-01-14January 03 20172017-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 23 20132013-01-23Photo of a group of young men and boys in a devotional gathering, raising their arms and hands in celebration.

Other participants have white and orange cloth, painted forehead marks, and some wear bangles. Behind them more people are visible in a bright hall with framed pictures on the wall. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible in this image.2017-01-03 +1 copiesJune 04 20132013-06-04A joyful outdoor gathering of young male sannyasis in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, many bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas, clapping and smiling with raised hands. One man on the left wears a dark blue sleeve, and a long-haired figure in the foreground wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. Behind them a white-clad man wears a yellow-bordered dhoti, and a red-and-yellow canopy, banana leaves, a saffron flag and a decorated structure with a deity murti appear in the background. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues; the group appears to be a celebratory satsang or festival procession.2017-01-14January 14 20172017-01-14November 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesNovember 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesA photograph of seated devotees at a satsang, with the foreground man in the centre-right pressing his palms together in anjali mudra with eyes closed.

Many wear rudraksha malas around their necks and shoulders, and several are bare-chested with the orange cloth wrapped at the waist. A central man in orange raises one hand in greeting while another man beside him grins; a fair-haired young man in orange and a rudraksha mala is at right.
