Photograph of a large seated crowd inside a white tented pavilion lit by hanging bulbs, with red-brown support poles. Hundreds of men in white dhotis and shirts sit on the floor, many wearing white headbands, with some in yellow, pink and blue clothes. A wooden stage with ornate decoration stands at the far end. A white rope barrier and standing spectators are at the left edge.2015-07-26December 12 20072007-12-12November 27 20092009-11-27A large crowd of seated men fills a white-roofed tent under a scalloped blue-and-white bunting ceiling and rows of hanging fans and lights. Most wear white shirts and white headbands over their eyes, with ID lanyards around their necks, and sit on a red carpet edged with green. At the far front, a few figures in white and saffron stand near a raised stage area with dark speakers and a palm tree beside it. The scene suggests a convention session with participants in a meditative blindfolded practice, though no specific ritual is legible here.2009-11-26December 13 20072007-12-13A large crowd of men sits closely packed on the floor of a white tented pavilion lit by overhead lights and ceiling fans. Many wear white shirts and white dhotis, and most have white cloth bands tied over their eyes. Some wear coloured shirts in red, blue and pink. Red and white canopy drapes line the tent roof, and red pillars support it. Metal barriers and white cloth panels border the seating area, and at the far end a wooden structure stands in front of a brick building. The scene resembles a gathered satsang or meditation session, with participants blindfolded. No individual is clearly identifiable as a swami in the frame.2015-07-26A large tented hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees in white clothing, most wearing white blindfolds or cloth wrapped over their eyes, sitting cross-legged on a floor covered with white sheets. Men in white shirts and dhotis fill the rows, some with white shawls and rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Tall white pillars run through the tent, with ceiling fans and hanging lights overhead. At the right edge, a woman in a white top and orange-red shawl stands near the front, and a cameraman is visible near the far left.
