A photograph of a seated assembly of shaved-headed monastic men in saffron-orange robes with white tripundra markings on their foreheads and arms, many wearing rudraksha malas, sitting on mats in a hall. In the foreground, brass puja plates, small bells, a conch shell and oil lamps sit on a low platform and floor cloth. Behind them a larger seated crowd in white and orange clothing fills the room, with red curtains and a wall visible in the background. No individual can be confidently identified from appearance, so no candidate is named.2013-09-13March 17 20132013-03-17Two seated men in front of a large group of ritual participants sit cross-legged on a floor, eyes closed or lowered in meditation.
