A candid indoor photo of a devotional gathering in a plain cream-walled room. A woman in an orange sannyasi-style garment with long loose hair sits on the right, smiling broadly while a hand rests on the head of a small toddler in a grey top held by a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala. On the left, a woman in a white sari with gold border touches her forehead and laughs. Behind them, a woman in a yellow shawl and white sari stands near a table with fruit and a metal vessel. The orange-clad woman does not show distinctive male-presenting a person cues, so no in-person identification is made.2010-02-04July 25 20092009-07-25August 08 2009 - Kalpataru, Cuddalore India2009-08-08November 06 20112011-11-06A photograph of a man in an orange saffron wrap, bare-chested and with gold hoop earrings, seated and placing his right hand on the head of a young child held upright by a woman in a white top. Around them, devotees including a woman in a red patterned top, a woman in white, and a boy in a green shirt watch quietly in a dim indoor setting with red drapery behind. The man's appearance (dark hair, earrings, saffron wrap) is consistent with the a person description, shown in the role of giving blessings, and he is shown here blessing the child. Four or more people are visible in the scene, including partly visible figures at the edges.2012-07-07September 13 20092009-09-13A photograph of a crowded indoor hall where a figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a white flower garland stands embracing an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. The older man wears a mala necklace and bangles and smiles. Beside them a woman in a green-and-cream sari with a red bindi and beaded necklace presses her palms together in anjali.

A red tray with fruit sits at the right edge, with a purple backdrop behind.2010-02-15A photograph of a satsang blessing.

Beside them a woman in a blue saree with white floral pattern bows her head with folded hands, and another woman in a white saree with gold border and a black beaded mala stands behind. A second woman in blue is partly visible at the back. The room has cream walls, a red curtain, and a small table with flowers and offerings at lower left.

Several people are visible, mostly partially cropped at the edges.2008-06-09A photograph taken indoors at night in a hall with a dark ceiling and exposed poles.
