A man on the left wears an orange robe and a garland, and a woman in the foreground holds a silver vessel while an attendant in orange and white reaches toward her. A woman in a cream sari and a woman with long dreadlocks in white stand on the right, both with rudraksha malas and hands pressed together. A red-and-orange flag is visible in the background. Several people in white with malas fill the middle ground. The scene looks like a satsang or darshan gathering.2009-06-01A central figure in a saffron-orange robe and a multicoloured flower garland with white blooms, with a small red mark on the forehead, walks through a doorway and raises one hand in greeting. Behind him an orange-clad attendant and others in orange and white stand near an open doorway where a ceremonial umbrella and a procession are visible. To the left a woman in a cream sari with yellow shawl and a young girl in cream sari with orange-red border stand nearby. On the right, men and women in white kurta-style clothes with rudraksha-type beads and yellow shawls observe, and a man in a white kurta stands near a red chair. The walls are pale pink with orange curtains.2009-12-23A photograph of a procession inside a plain yellow-walled hall with a red tiled floor. A man in saffron-orange robes and a long red and white flower garland walks barefoot at centre, with dark hair swept back and bare upper body, appearing to be a person candidate by his garland and orange robes. He is accompanied by a woman in a cream sari with a brocade border who carries a woven basket with flowers and offerings. To the left a woman in white with folded hands stands near steel pots and water jugs. Behind them a shaved-headed man in orange, women in white saris, and men in white kurta clothing follow past a colourful festoon-decorated canopy and a table with a patterned cloth. Five to six people are visible.2008-03-12December 06 20092009-12-06Photo of a welcoming reception at an open doorway of a white-walled building, with marigold and red flower garlands strung across the top of the doorframe. Women in white cream-bordered saris stand on both sides, hands pressed in anjali; the two on the left hold a brass tray of offerings with a flower-decorated basket. A woman in a white and blue patterned kurta with blue pants and a flower garland receives the welcome, bowing at the threshold. Further back in the corridor, people in white and orange clothing and an orange-robed person stand in line. No identifiable a person is visible.2009-06-01February 15 20092009-02-15November 24 20092009-11-24A photograph of a doorway in a white-walled hall, with a row of people in white and orange clothing entering from a sunlit courtyard decorated with green leaf garlands. In the foreground, a man in an orange robe with a dark beard stands with palms pressed together, facing the doorway, while a woman in a grey and olive sari holds a water bottle. Several young people in white shirts and red shawls, some holding booklets or small printed photos, stand along the sides of the doorway. A man in orange robes and a woman in white garments stand further inside, one of whom may be a sannyasi, with a woman in white beside him. Their identities are uncertain from appearance alone.2009-06-17June 17 20092009-06-17July 27 20082008-07-27
