A photograph taken under a corrugated metal roof at a temple-like hall. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare upper arm stands centre, raising one hand toward a line of devotees. Devotees in white shirts and white dhotis, many wearing rudraksha malas, line a steel railing and reach toward him. On the right, a man in a white kurta with a yellow shawl holds a shallow orange tray with a white card. Behind them is a shrine with a colourful deity murti framed by a golden arch. A banner on the left reads about the spiritual life of great masters. The scene looks like a darshan or blessing gathering.

A photograph of a darshan-style gathering in a covered hall with orange-painted walls and a corrugated roof. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long red-and-orange flower garland with a rudraksha mala, extends his hand in blessing toward a line of women with palms pressed together. He is a person by a combination of long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and rudraksha mala, but the identification is appearance-based and uncertain. A bald man in an orange robe on the right holds a small tray with gold-coloured items and a yellow cloth while facing him. Women on the left wear yellow, white-and-blue, and red saris and stand at a metal railing. Framed photographs and colourful woven-patterned hangings decorate the walls behind them.
