A boy in a teal T-shirt and plaid shorts stands smiling at the centre while an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti leans toward him with raised hands, as if blessing him. Behind them a shrine holds deity murtis and a framed picture, with red and yellow walls. On the left edge, a row of people in white and red stoles and casual clothes stands together. Beside the shrine, a red-draped table holds figurines and offerings. The screen edge shows a partial logo and copyright text.

A person with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and garlanded with pink and white flower necklaces, sits on a white-covered seat in the centre, smiling. Men and women devotees gather around; a bald man in a white kurta with an orange shawl stands behind, a boy in white shirt and trousers stands near, a woman in white with a name badge presses palms together, and an older woman in a yellow-bordered sari joins hands in namaskar. Brass lamps, a kalasha-like vessel and offering plates sit on a stone ledge, with a red-and-white striped temple wall and an orange curtain behind.2010-06-13A photograph of an indoor satsang hall with a white projection screen at upper left and a dark backdrop hung with colourful banners. A long-haired man in a white dhoti and white shawl, with a red-and-white beaded mala and a gold chain, stands centre-right with one hand raised toward the head of a man in a white kurta bending forward to receive a blessing. Beside him a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron garment and gold necklaces holds a silver tray. Another shaved-headed man in orange and white stands at right, with a man in a mint-green shirt at left and a young boy in a red shirt in the foreground. The long-haired figure shows the cues of a person in a blessing role; identity is appearance-based only.2011-02-12Devotees line up in a temple hall to receive blessings. A central figure wears a cream turban with jeweled pins, a long cream shawl, a gold-and-green sari-style garment, and multiple rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets; he smiles and raises his right hand toward a devotee while holding a small object, and a shaven-headed priest in white dhoti and sacred thread stands at right by an offering tray. Behind them, a decorated deity murti garlanded with yellow and red flowers stands in a colourful ornate shrine. Other devotees in white and green clothing fold their hands in prayer, and a young boy in red stands among them.

Behind them, a few people in white and orange clothing stand near a red-and-gold curtain and a low platform. Multicoloured striped cloth lies on a table in the foreground, and a woman's bangled wrist is visible at left. The setting suggests an ashram darshan or courtyard gathering.2017-02-17November 12 20112011-11-12
