Behind, more saffron-robed monastics and white-clad people sit, and a photographer stands near a tall red-and-white garlanded structure. Long bamboo poles with orange cloth stand at centre, and coconuts, fruit, flowers and a brass pot sit on a tray in the foreground.

A central figure in a red sari-style robe with a white flower garland and red-and-white beaded mala stands on a red carpet, arms raised in an open gesture. Around them a dense crowd of devotees in white clothing, many seated on the floor, some in orange saffron robes, fills the space, with a few people in orange and white clothes and a camera on a tripod at right. A wall clock and an altar-like shrine appear in the upper background.2009-06-21December 26 20062006-12-26A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark swept-back hair and a multicoloured flower garland stands at right, holding a small woven basket and a green leaf over a tray of flower offerings. Seated devotees in orange and white clothing sit before red drapes and a ceiling fan, some with palms joined in prayer. A framed portrait stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja or satsang inside a tent-like hall; this is an appearance-based candidate only.2006-12-28
