Six men in orange dhotis and shawls with red borders wear large beaded necklaces with gold pendants, and several wear rudraksha-style beads. Women on the left wear orange and red saris with matching blouses and beaded necklaces. Behind them, ornate multicoloured umbrellas with fringed edges and decorated canopies are raised, and a tree and a covered walkway appear in the background. The scene reads as a ritual welcome or procession at an ashram.2008-12-27June 09 20092009-06-09January 07 20172017-01-07October 13 20172017-10-13Outdoor group photo on a dirt ground at what appears to be an ashram, with a colourful striped umbrella and a few decorated parasols behind the group and a white-roofed building at left. Around ten people stand together, most dressed in saffron and orange robes and garlands; the women wear orange saris with maroon borders and red-and-gold bindi, and the men wear orange dhotis and shawls with gold pendant necklaces and beaded malas. A bald man in an orange robe and gold necklace stands near the centre, and a man with long hair and a beard stands among the group, with a few other devotees and onlookers visible behind them.2008-12-27January 15 20162016-01-15November 16 20152015-11-16A row of smiling women in orange and red saris with gold borders stand side by side, holding food offerings in their hands.

Both have white vibhuti lines and red bindis, and one wears a rudraksha mala. Behind them, other devotees in orange and white clothing and a man in an orange knit cap stand among hanging marigold garlands and red cloth decorations.2014-01-13Two young women in orange saris stand at a stage with a clear acrylic lectern on the left.

The woman behind her wears a white forehead band and a dark dot, layered gold necklaces and a long gold chain with a pendant, and smiles. A woman in white at the left edge of the frame stands by the lectern. Behind them are gold-toned sculptures, pink lighting and pink curtains.2017-01-07
