Each week we highlight an earlier era of ISKCON New Vrindaban.
This week’s challenge: There are twelve devotees who faces can be seen in the photo. How many can you identify?
Extra Credit: What occasion was being observed and what festival was being celebrated?
Post your guesses on the “who, what, when, where & why” in the comment section at the New Vrindaban Facebook Page.
Technical stuff: We share a photo Thursday and confirm known details Sunday. Let’s keep it light and have a bit of fun!
Special request: If you have a photo showing New Vrindaban devotees in action, share it with us and we’ll use it in a future posting.
