July 14 20132013-07-14Several shaven-headed men in saffron-orange robes sit close together on the floor during a satsang discussion. The man at right holds a black handheld microphone and speaks, smiling, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. Beside him, a bald man in orange grins, wearing a beaded mala and wrist bands. Further left, another smiling man in orange sits with his hands resting near a brass-toned object, and a foreground head is partly cropped. Warm, low lighting shows orange cushions and a plastic bottle at the lower left, with more seated devotees in orange blurred in the background. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance, so the candidate is unsure.2016-07-12February 23 20162016-02-23A long row of seated monks and devotees in orange and rust-coloured sannyasi robes eat a communal meal served on green banana leaves, with steel tumblers and bowls lining the floor.

Beside him, a bearded man in glasses wears a black knitted cap and rust wrap.

To the right, a smiling young man in an orange shawl sits bare-chested, and further right another man in orange is partly visible. Behind them, a large audience in white and orange clothing fills a bright hall with pink and red decor. No figure in the frame has long swept-back hair, a crown or ornate gold jewellery, so no a person candidate is visible.2017-03-14September 11 20172017-09-11 +1 copiesA group of young men and women seated cross-legged on the floor on banana leaves, dressed in saffron-orange and rust-red cloths with rudraksha malas and white ash markings on their foreheads and arms.
