Amal Kiran calls this picture, taken in the Ashram, The Devil and his Disciples. Amal has a devilish grin. The scene is the old library of the Ashram. Dr Rajangam is at the opposite end of the table, the librarian Premanand standing to the left of Amaland Anil Kumar (bearded) behind him. The three others are Udayshankar's company. Uday himself stands near to Rajangam and looks down. Rajangam is reading a typed sonnet of Harindranath Chottopadhyaya. (1930s)
