A woman with long dark hair in an orange saffron sari smiles at the center, wearing a wrap of orange cloth over her shoulder. An older man in white with glasses and a sandalwood tilak stands among devotees who reach toward him. Several people press close, with a ceiling fan and a wall painting of trees visible.2010-01-23August 09 20072007-08-09Crowded indoor room with pale pink walls and a yellow trim band, where a large group of men in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis gather closely. A framed portrait hangs high on the wall, decorated with a marigold garland, and a video camera operator is visible at the upper right near a black pillar. Several saffron-clad sannyasis wear orange turbans and shawls, and one man in a sleeveless saffron top stands near the centre. Many devotees in white and orange press in around the central figures, some holding phones or cameras.

Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, several shaved-headed monks in orange and white, and a man in a yellow garment press close. A red tray holding small offerings sits at the centre, and a garlanded older man in white holds flowers. Framed portraits hang on the back wall, and a projection screen is visible at right. The figure's appearance matches the page's presence claim through several cues, so this is a person in person.2011-12-11Indoor photo of a group of devotees in a room with yellow-checked curtains and a wall clock. A seated figure on a brown leather sofa wears a saffron-orange turban, saffron-orange robe and a rudraksha-style mala, hands pressed together in namaste. A man in a white shirt kneels before the sofa with hands folded, while others stand around with palms joined, one man in a checked shirt and a woman in an orange-and-cream sari with beaded necklace among them. A man in white clothing stands at the left edge. Appearance cues of the seated figure are distinctive, but the figure is not confidently identifiable from the image alone, so the role is given as a sannyasi seated on the sofa receiving devotees.2006-11-24July 10 20092009-07-10Indoor temple hall with cream walls, wooden-beamed ceiling and hanging pendant lamps. A group of devotees stands with palms pressed together in namaskar.
