Indoor photo of a group walking through a wood-panelled hall with a dark polished floor. In the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, with long dark hair and a large orange-and-gold beaded garland, walks ahead of several men in orange and yellow robes, one wearing a white head band and another in white dhoti with an orange shawl. On the left, men in white dhotis and cream shawls walk nearby. A wall sign reads Jaya Gurudatta and Sri Gurudatta in orange lettering, and a small flat-screen monitor shows a red image. The figure in the orange turban has distinctive long swept-back hair, a turban and ornate garland, which are appearance cues, and the page associates this event with a person, so this is a person presence in person. Around nine people are visible.2008-10-29Photograph of a group walking across a polished dark floor in a wood-panelled hall with a banner reading JAYA GURUDATTA and SRI GURUDATTA.
