In the foreground, a row of men wear saffron-orange dhotis and shoulder cloths with rudraksha malas; one in white dhoti with a red-brown shawl looks down at a phone, and a bald man in orange holds a small book. Behind them, a larger crowd of seated devotees in orange and white clothing, some in white shirts, fills the hall, with an ornate golden shrine partly visible at the upper left.

Four or five sannyasi-style monks in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings sit cross-legged in front, hands raised in mudra and eyes closed. Behind them, rows of people in white clothing sit on red mats, with a few in yellow and orange shirts.

Behind them, a row of people in white ritual clothing sit on red chairs and mats, some with hands folded in prayer. A few wear orange-and-white satsang attire. A partly visible figure in orange stands at the upper right near a framed image on a red wall, and a small child sits among the seated rows at the back.2015-02-02January 31 20162016-01-31A photograph of a large seated congregation during a ritual gathering. In the foreground, a row of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged on a mat, many with white sacred ash markings on forehead and arms. The man in the centre holds a black microphone and appears to be leading chanting. Bare-chested participants with rudraksha necklaces and bracelets sit beside them, and yellow flower petals and leaves lie on the mat in front. Behind them, a crowd of people in white and orange clothing fills the hall, some wearing orange and red stoles. No one clearly matches the a person appearance cues, so the a person field is unsure.2016-09-30February 14 20162016-02-14
