A photograph inside an orange-draped ritual tent at an ashram. On the right, a person in an orange robe and a brown-and-gold turban holds a rudraksha mala and places it on the head of a man in a grey jacket and brown shawl, who presses his palms together in reverence. Beside him, a second man in a grey sweater holds a rudraksha mala and a small white container. Behind them, other robed figures in orange and brown sit near a golden ceremonial setup and a green floor mat. The page links the scene to a satsang and darshan at Kumbhapuri, but this image shows only the blessing exchange.

Photograph of two men in warm grey jackets and scarves with hands pressed together in namaste, facing a seated figure in orange and saffron robes with a brown and gold turban, long dark hair, and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. The seated figure gestures with one hand while the men listen attentively. Behind them a priest in white dhoti and shawl stands near a seated ritual assistant before a low wooden table with brass offerings, against an orange and gold tent setting with garlanded decorations and a green mat on the floor. Visible people: about five.

Behind them, people in orange and pink kurtas stand near a yellow banner printed with a peacock-feather motif and a kalasha-style design. Marigold petals lie on the table.

A seated figure in a rust-red turban and gold-toned draped garment, with a heavy beaded necklace and gold bangles, sits on a gold-trimmed seat in front of red draped fabric and extends hands to a man. He wears rimless glasses, a white shirt and an orange shawl, and gestures with one hand while bending forward. Behind them a woman in a cream sari with a long rudraksha-style mala stands with hands folded and smiles. Gold ornamental carving and a gold staff are visible at left. The figure in the turban is a person candidate, identified only by the cues of a turban, gold necklaces and ornate clothing, and is seated in the central role of receiving visitors.
