A photograph of an indoor ashram hall with a white fabric ceiling and colourful patterned pillars. At the front, a large orange banner with a Dasara logo and a deity print hangs behind a throne-like seat. A robed figure in an orange-saffron garment with a rudraksha mala stands centrally, facing the front. Several men in white dhotis with bare upper bodies stand with hands folded in anjali, and several women in white and cream saris with gold borders also stand with hands folded, some near the front right. Mats in bright patterned colours cover the floor, with brass lamps and offering vessels placed on them. Camera tripods and two projection screens frame the hall.

A figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala, smiles and raises one hand in greeting while walking forward; the cues match Swamiji (probable), with the figure presented as a sannyasi leader. Behind him, a line of devotees in white dhotis and white sarees stands or kneels on colourful mats before brass lamps and puja plates; a man at left has white markings on his forehead and arms. A camera on a tripod and a stage backdrop with an orange deity print complete the scene.2010-10-16October 25 20102010-10-25A large seated audience in a white-tented hall listens to a talk.

Several people wear yellow shawls or sashes, and a few in the front rows wear white and maroon cloth. A figure in orange robes sits near the stage area at left, and a shaved-headed man in orange sits on the floor at left. Tall decorated pillars with colourful geometric patterns and orange tassels frame the stage, and two projection screens are mounted on the wall. Brass or steel railings line the left side of the hall.2010-10-13November 12 20102010-11-12A photograph inside a temple hall with a deity shrine and gold-decorated altar backdrop. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala walks barefoot across a green mat at the center, flanked by priests in white dhotis and shawls, one bare-chested with a rudraksha mala. Several white-clad men stand with palms joined on the left, and a woman in a yellow sari stands at right. A camera on a tripod is set up near the altar. A projection screen hangs on the left wall and orange and red tasseled banners hang from the ceiling. The orange-robed man shows distinctive saffron clothing and a mala, but his face is not clearly visible to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain.2010-11-19A large hall with white ceiling drapes and tall decorative banners hanging above rows of seated devotees on orange and patterned mats.
