Indoor photograph of a religious ceremony in a pink-walled room with a framed deity print on the wall and a brass oil lamp at right. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a dark rudraksha mala and an orange saffron wrap stands at left with hands folded. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes reaches out to clasp the hands of a bare-chested priest wearing a red shawl with gold border and white dhoti, who stands before brass vessels and a bell. A bearded man in orange robes sits at right, and a yellow-saree-clad woman is partly visible at far left. Several figures in the room are visible, and the scene appears to be a formal blessing or ordination exchange.2007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09A photograph of a ceremonial gathering indoors. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a long dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak, holding out a hand toward a silver tray. Around him, several shaved-headed men in white dhotis with white and orange sacred marks on their foreheads and chests stand and hold orange cloth bundles and offering trays. On the right, a woman in an orange sari with a maroon border and a rudraksha mala stands beside a dark handbag. Behind them a large screen shows a gilded throne with a red cushion and a temple-style deity image, and a camera operator appears at the right edge.2010-10-26A photograph of a satsang hall where a figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a heavy ornate gold necklace of beads stands at centre, extending a hand in blessing toward a bald elderly man in white clothes with a tilak mark on his forehead. A kneeling man in white dress with a brown shawl bows with palms pressed together, and an older man with glasses in white clothes and a mala stands at left with folded hands. Beside the blessing figure, a man in an orange robe holds a silver tray with offerings. A white-shirted man stands behind, and a projection screen and orange and yellow banner hang on the wall.

The offerings include yellow and orange flowers, fruit, and brass vessels. A tall brass oil lamp stands at right, and a framed picture hangs in the upper left.
