A photo of a large hall with a long central aisle lined by metal stanchions and chains. Seated rows of devotees in white clothing fill both sides, many wearing white kurtas and white saris, some with lanyards. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with a shawl over a light dhoti, wearing a long rudraksha-style mala, walks barefoot down the center aisle toward the front. Overhead ceiling lights and red curtained windows line the room. A gold-trimmed shrine or throne area is visible at the far end. The page marks this as an August 17, 2013 session, and the walking figure shows some appearance cues, so the identity is uncertain. Approximately 100 to 150 people are visible.2013-08-17A large hall with rows of seated devotees on red floor mats along both sides of a central aisle lined with stanchions and a white runner.

A tall figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair walks barefoot down the centre of the carpet, appearing to be a sannyasi teacher; the appearance cues are not sufficient to confirm identity, so this is unsure. Many devotees sit cross-legged with eyes closed, some wearing lanyards with name badges, white shirts and dhotis, and women in white and green saris.
