In the left foreground a man with long hair and a light-coloured saffron-orange robe with a gold-toned necklace stands on a red carpet, looking toward a crowd. Hundreds of participants sit in rows on the floor wearing white clothes and white headbands. Several people in white kneel or sit near the front, and a person in orange with a white garment stands among the seated crowd. Arched windows, pillars, ceiling beams and fans fill the hall.2006-07-30June 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.2015-07-26July 29 20062006-07-29A large crowd of seated devotees fills a spacious hall, most dressed in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, with some in checked and striped shirts. 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.2015-09-06September 05 20152015-09-05November 12 20042004-11-12A large indoor hall packed with a crowd of seated participants, mostly women in white and pastel saris, smiling and clapping with palms together. A cameraman stands on a raised tripod in the centre-right, wearing white clothes with an orange shawl over his shoulders. Many participants wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and some wear glasses. Bright ceiling lights, a balcony with onlookers above, and latticed wall panels frame the scene. The pictured crowd is far more than twenty people, so it is grouped as a large gathering.2006-07-29July 29 20062006-07-29
