They face a distant golden seated figure on a raised platform at the front of the hall, flanked by large gold-toned carved panels and framed portraits on the walls. Cameras on tripods stand at the sides, and a few people stand near the edges. A woman in an orange-bordered sari sits in the foreground.2015-09-06June 19 20162016-06-19A large crowd fills a white tented hall with red-trimmed canopy and hanging ceiling fans and lights. Many men wear white dhotis and white shirts, some with saffron or orange shawls and yellow cloth bags, while women in colourful saris and children stand among them. At the centre rear, a wooden pavilion with ornamented pillars stands in the hall, with people gathered around it. Visible people number well over twenty, so the scene is a dense assembly rather than a small gathering.2015-07-26A crowded indoor hall with pale walls, ceiling lights and framed religious paintings, filled with a large gathering of people dressed in white and orange. Many men wear white kurta-style clothing with lanyards, while several in saffron or orange garments wear rudraksha malas, one with a red tilak on his forehead.

Several have hands folded in namaskar or eyes closed in meditation, and a few wear saffron or red shawls over their shoulders. In the upper background a golden deity murti and an oil lamp stand near the back wall, with a large framed picture beside it. The crowd fills the frame, with the closest figures partly cropped at the bottom edge. A faint purple logo appears in the upper left corner.2015-09-05December 11 20072007-12-11December 13 20072007-12-13September 06 20152015-09-06A large crowd of devotees, mostly men in white ritual clothes and white shirts, sits seated on the floor of a hall, viewed from behind. Some wear dhotis with gold borders and others wear colourful checked shirts and a pink top. On a raised stage at the far end, figures in saffron and orange robes stand near a large golden decorated backdrop, with an oversized screen on each side showing a close-up video feed. A lit white lamp hangs on the right side of the hall, and a tall pyramid of offerings stands at the stage edge. The scene conveys a Guru Purnima gathering in an ashram hall.2016-07-19
