A large open hall with a blue-green corrugated roof on steel trusses and a green floor, filled with a crowd of devotees dressed in white. Men wear white shirts and dhotis, many with rudraksha malas; women wear white saris with gold or cream borders and some wear orange-bordered saris. Small framed portraits hang on the white pillars along the hall, and scattered paper litter lies on the floor. Activities look like a gathering or satsang, with people standing and moving about in groups. No single individual is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance, and the portraits on the pillars are too small to judge.2006-11-05November 04 20062006-11-04November 05 20062006-11-05November 05 20062006-11-05Large crowd of mostly men in white shirts and dhotis fills a long open-sided tent with a corrugated metal roof and bamboo rafters, with a green floor covering. Many attendees wear white lanyard badges. In the centre a man in a beige shirt raises his arms overhead, while others stand with hands folded or clasped. A boy in a red kurta and white pyjamas stands at right beside a woman in an orange sari. Framed portraits hang from the poles: one labelled with a readable caption, and others showing bearded figures in green and white. Fluorescent tubes line the poles.2006-11-05February 06 20102010-02-06November 05 20062006-11-05A large open-sided pavilion with a thatched bamboo roof and ceiling lights holds a seated congregation of several hundred people, mostly women and men dressed in white and cream clothes, with some in saffron and orange saris. They sit on white sheets and green mats along both sides of a central red carpet that leads toward the front. At the far right, a bald man in a saffron-orange robe stands on a raised red platform facing the audience, appearing to address them. Stage equipment, a camera on a tripod and a keyboard are visible near the front, and red banners hang on the back wall. The scene resembles a satsang or discourse gathering. a person identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2010-02-04A photograph taken inside a large white marquee tent during a programme, with a long green carpet running down the centre aisle between two red-carpeted lanes. Hundreds of people line both sides, many with hands joined in namaskar, mostly young men in white shirts and dhotis on the left and women in white and coloured saris on the right. Near the middle of the aisle a figure in an orange-saffron robe walks toward the front, with another figure in white beside him. Yellow and red bunting drapes the tent ceiling, and decorative yellow-and-green banners with sunflower motifs line the sides, with lights and scaffolding overhead. Several hundred people are visible.2006-09-17November 04 20062006-11-04December 11 20072007-12-11A large tented venue with white canvas roof, blue trim and rows of ceiling fans and white light poles. A dense crowd of devotees stands on green, orange and yellow striped mats, many men in white dhotis and shirts, some in plain shirts, with women in saris in orange, pink and yellow on the right. Many hold their hands together in anjali pose, while one man in the foreground holds a folded paper. A small boy in a checked shirt and yellow shorts stands near the centre. Hanging orange and yellow decorations hang from the ceiling. No identifiable a person figure is visibly present, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed. The scene shows a satsang-style gathering of roughly several dozen to a hundred devotees.2007-12-11
