Several women in white saris with golden borders and long hair sit cross-legged on a patterned blue-and-yellow mat, with men in white shirts and dhotis in the foreground. A brass oil lamp stands at right beside a red plastic chair, a white fan at left, and a window with grille at left. This appears to be a satsang or discourse setting.

In the foreground, a row of seated devotees in white and traditional cream-and-red saris and dhotis, with hands pressed together in anjali, sit before brass trays of offerings with small fruits, lamps and bowls. On the right, a man in a saffron-orange sleeveless garment with a gold necklace and his hair drawn up in a bun stands with palms joined, facing the seated group across a white-draped seat. Further back, more seated people and standing attendants in white with red shawls are visible. The scene resembles a padapuja-style ritual. The man in orange has distinctive saffron clothing, gold ornaments and a bun, which is consistent with the candidate a person in this context.2010-07-24A photograph of a large open-air ceremony under a white tent.

Many devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on mats facing a raised platform at the far left. A person in orange robes sits on the platform speaking into a microphone, with a purple and gold decorated seat behind them. A video camera on a tripod films the audience from the right. Several devotees wear red or orange shawls and some have white caps. A blue-painted stand sits in front of the platform beside a water bottle.
