Photo of devotees gathered outside a red brick building with a green corrugated roof and a sign reading "Ananda Sabha". A woman with light hair wears an orange saffron-coloured sari-style garment and stands at the centre, holding a brass kalasha-type vessel and a bamboo pole strung with orange cloths. Around her, several young people wear orange robes and white dhotis or white kurtas. A woman in a white sari with a gold border holds a small brass vessel. A young girl in a yellow and blue dress stands at the right with hands folded in prayer. Sandals lie on the floor near the doorway. The scene suggests a ritual gathering at the entrance of the hall.2006-10-06October 06 20062006-10-06October 21 20062006-10-21 +1 copiesNight photo of a red-painted building with a sign reading Ananda Sabha above the doorway, decorated with a green leaf garland.

A woman in a white sari with a gold border offers a small fruit or offering into the hands of a young man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala, who smiles and cups his palms. Behind them, a woman in white and another in white with a mala stand near a doorway, and a boy in white kurta at right holds his hands together. A few other people stand in the shadowed doorway. Nothing visible confirms a named ritual or identifies anyone; the young man in white is not matched to a person by visible cues.2006-10-06December 31 20062006-12-31Outdoor evening scene in front of a red-walled building with a green corrugated roof and a lattice window.
