Two shaved-headed men sit cross-legged on a pale concrete floor in front of a white-and-red striped wall with a stone step and potted plants behind them, both with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. The man on the left, in a white embroidered kurta, has eyes lowered and a black wristwatch and bead necklace visible. The man on the right wears an all-white kurta and dhoti with a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a ceremonial bead mala, eyes closed in prayer. Appearance-based cues on the right figure (saffron shawl, bead mala, white ritual clothing) are present but limited, so identity is uncertain; the scene reads as a devotional or puja moment.

In the foreground a shaved-headed young man in white kurta and dhoti with red and green borders sits in prayer, his hands at his chest, and a bangle on his wrist. To the left an older man in an orange vest over white kurta wears a rudraksha mala and sits with hands folded. To the right a woman in white salwar and dupatta with a black beaded necklace prays with hands folded in her lap, and a young woman with long light hair in a pale top, and others in yellow and white, sit behind them. The setting suggests a satsang or group prayer.2010-09-02November 23 20102010-11-23October 07 20112011-10-07October 17 20112011-10-17October 04 20112011-10-04November 03 20112011-11-03September 10 20112011-09-10Several men sit close together in white ritual dress with reddish-maroon borders, bodies and arms marked with white ash lines. In the foreground two men with shaved heads and rudraksha malas press their palms together in anjali, eyes closed, in prayer. Beside them a man with short dark hair and a gold bangle also holds his hands folded with eyes closed. Behind them another seated man in white is partly visible, and a blurred bald figure in orange appears at the lower right corner. Warm light glows at the left edge.2011-10-02Several men in plain white ritual clothes sit on a floor mat with their palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, in a devotional gathering. The central figure is shaved-headed and wears thin-rimmed glasses, a rudraksha mala, a gold bangle and a white upper cloth with gold-coloured edges. Others beside him have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads and arms. Behind them a red wall and a man in a pale green kurta sit in the background. No one visible is distinctively identifiable as a person by appearance cues, so the presence of a person candidate is unsure. The setting suggests a pada puja or satsang moment.2011-11-04
