Before him on the floor, devotees perform worship: a seated man in white dhoti and shawl with folded hands and a sacred thread, a woman in a blue sari with folded hands, a woman in a white sari with glasses, and a bald priest in white with a thread offering namaskar. Brass oil lamps (deepas) stand nearby, and trays with pink flowers, fruit, and small bowls of offerings are arranged on the floor. A white fan and studio lights appear at right, and a small child is at the lower left edge.2012-04-14September 17 20102010-09-17A photograph of a satsang in a plain hall with a maroon curtain and blue drapes behind.
