A bare-backed man in saffron-orange wrap with long swept-back dark hair stands at centre, one arm raised pointing into the darkness, appearing to direct the group. Around him stand five men: a shaven-headed man on the left in yellow-orange cloth with red border, a man in white with an orange shawl, an older man in white dhoti and shirt, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers, and two men in white dhotis and shirts on the right, one pointing. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in saffron wrap with long hair, presenting the site to the group.2008-04-04September 10 20152015-09-10 +1 copiesCrowded indoor hall with a concrete floor and white-walled pillars, where many men in white kurta-style clothes and white dhotis mill around.

Some people hold plates, and a wall-mounted notice is partly visible.2006-12-15Outdoor temple shrine scene with a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala seated on an orange throne-like chair with orange cushion and footstool, hands joined in greeting.
