A dimly lit hall with white plastic chairs and ceiling fans, where a group of men in white kurtas and dhotis walk or dance in a line. A man in the centre wears a yellow-orange dhoti and shawl with a red-orange sash and hands pressed together in namaste, while others raise their arms or clasp their hands. A seated woman in a purple shawl with her hair tied back watches from the right foreground. Decorative striped hangings hang from a pillar overhead. Several men wear white caps or hold small items, and the mood appears to be a devotional procession or group chanting.2009-07-09July 05 20092009-07-05July 05 20092009-07-05July 09 20092009-07-09October 07 20102010-10-07June 22 20092009-06-22Indoor ashram hall with a white ceiling canopy and orange-and-patterned hanging drapes.
