A large seated gathering of young and adult devotees in saffron-orange robes and orange turbans, many wearing long rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, some with white tilak marks on their foreheads. Rows of people sit closely together on the floor in a hall with red and white decorations behind them. One person in the front center wears an orange turban with a red bindi and dark rudraksha beads, while a younger attendee on the right wears a white turban and white robe. No clear distinctive a person candidate is identifiable from appearance, so the image is treated as a general assembly of sannyasi devotees and students.2017-08-11A photograph of a large seated gathering of young people in saffron-orange robes and orange head wraps, many wearing beaded necklaces and white or ash markings on their foreheads, sitting on the floor of a covered open-air hall with red walls and wooden pillars. A man in orange robes stands at center beside a stone pillar with a brass vessel and a small book on a stone ledge, next to an ornately carved wooden throne-like seat on the right. A video camera on a tripod is set up near the standing man. The seated participants have their hands pressed together or raised in a devotional posture. No person is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance; the carved seat is unoccupied.2017-08-09 +2 copiesA crowded outdoor courtyard scene of devotees in saffron-orange robes and matching orange turbans, many wearing rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces.

Many have long dreadlocked hair and rudraksha beads; some wear orange shawls and white garments. In the upper left, a seated figure in orange with long dreadlocks sits behind a low table, appearing to lead the session, while others face him in rows. Behind them, a deity murti with brass bells, lamps and ornate gold decorations is set in a shrine alcove, and a few women in green and pink saris sit near the back. Brass bells and a large lamp stand are visible near the pillars.2018-05-29 +1 copiesA dense crowd of young men and some women in saffron-orange robes, many wearing orange turbans and rudraksha malas, sit closely packed inside a stone courtyard. A carved wooden throne with ornate metal panels stands at the centre, empty of any clearly identifiable occupant in view. Several people sit on the floor in front, some with heads bowed in devotion, while others lean forward with hands folded. A small stone structure and brass vessels stand near the throne. Pillars and a red wall frame the scene. A camera tripod is visible at the upper left. The atmosphere suggests a seated ritual gathering or darshan.2017-08-09 +2 copiesOutdoors in a courtyard, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands with eyes closed in meditation, wearing an orange sleeveless robe and a long rudraksha mala down his chest. Behind him, several devotees sit cross-legged in meditation: men in white robes with yellow shawls on the left and right, and a man in an orange kurta in the middle. A small stone deity murti stands among plants near a tin-roofed orange building, with flowering hibiscus and a bamboo fence behind. The standing man has long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha cues, so he is a probable Swamiji in an appearance-based sense.2010-09-05December 15 20172017-12-15July 04 20172017-07-04August 09 20172017-08-09 +2 copiesAugust 09 20172017-08-09 +2 copiesDecember 20 20112011-12-20
