A barefoot figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe walks down a central aisle in a white hall with patterned pillars and high grilled windows, hands pressed together in namaste. Lines of people stand on both sides with palms joined: men in white shirts and dhotis on the left, women in white saris and some in orange, yellow and purple garments on the right, many wearing rudraksha-style mala necklaces. A camera operator is visible at the lower left edge. The figure has long dark hair and the presentation is consistent with a person, walking with a saffron robe and long swept hair, as a greeted guest of an Inner Healing program. Rows of standing devotees line the aisle, and the walkway is lined with red and yellow runners.2006-10-07Photo of a devotional line in a covered hall, with a crowd of devotees on both sides behind metal railings reaching out with raised hands and folded palms.
