A photograph of a long hall where many men sit cross-legged on white mats in rows, each wearing a white headband blindfold over the eyes. Near the centre a standing man wears a white kurta and a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders, with a small pendant at his chest, and appears to be leading the session. Beside the seated rows stands a white-skirted table holding a projector, an open laptop, a phone and markers. The room has wood-panelled walls, a dark polished floor, cream curtains and wall-mounted air conditioners. Several seated participants wear white, yellow and blue clothing.2006-12-212007-Social Service Activities At Kailaasa SriPuram Sarvajnapeeta, Hyderabad2009-Activities-and-Events-at-Kailaasa-SriPuram-Sarvajnapeeta-Hyderabad2007-Social Service Activities At Kailaasa SriPuram Sarvajnapeeta, Hyderabad +4 copiesA photograph inside a hall with a polished reflective floor where many seated participants wear white headbands over their eyes. A figure in a flowing orange robe with bare shoulders walks down the central aisle, barefoot, hands clasped, reflected in the glossy floor. Seated devotees in white and striped shirts line both sides, some with hands folded, and a gold-framed arch with orange and tasselled hangings stands at the back. Swamiji (probable): the orange-robed figure walking the aisle wears a flowing saffron garment and has long, swept-back dark hair, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event; the identity is inferred from appearance and context. Tall sections of white-framed windows and orange banners complete the scene.2010-10-23A wide photograph of a hall where a large seated congregation, many with white cloth blindfolds over their eyes, sits in rows on the floor facing a central walkway. A standing woman in a long orange robe with a beaded orange necklace walks down the middle aisle toward the front. Seated devotees wear white, cream, pink and striped shirts, saris and salwars. Colourful woven tassels in red, blue and orange hang from the ceiling, and a framed screen image and red banner decorate the back wall.2010-10-23A photograph of a large indoor hall with orange-draped mats where many seated participants wear white or light clothing and white blindfolds over their eyes, with yellow lanyards and name badges. A standing man in a flowing orange-saffron robe and long, swept-back hair walks through the centre holding a golden ceremonial staff or ornament in one hand. Orange curtains hang over windows along the back wall, and a few chairs are set along the side. The scene suggests a guided inner-awakening session in which the blindfolded group sits in meditation. The staff bearer's appearance matches the page's a person cues of long hair and orange clothing, but the identity is uncertain from the image alone, so this is recorded as unsure.2009-12-22December 06 20092009-12-06A standing man in a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder, with a red tilak mark on his forehead and dark hair falling past his shoulders, walks through a plain pink-walled hall. Around him, many seated participants wear white blindfold bands over their eyes, some in white clothes with red and white beaded lanyards; a few wear other colours. Mats, a red chair, a wall clock and two water dispensers are visible. The appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable): saffron robe, long hair and red forehead mark, shown walking in person.2009-12-06A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of seated participants wearing white blindfolds tied across their eyes, many in white shirts with lanyards. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe, with long hair, stands near the centre of the hall, appearing to lead the session; this appearance is consistent with the page's description of a person, though it is not certain. Attendants in yellow stand along the back and sides, and a green mat covers the floor. A large screen hangs on the far wall above a stage area.2010-08-21A photograph of a large seated congregation, most wearing white cloths tied over their eyes, in a hall with a gilded arch and hanging orange and multicoloured tassels. A standing figure in an orange saffron dhoti-style garment and a long rudraksha mala walks down the centre aisle holding a microphone, appearing to address the assembly. Many seated attendees wear white shirts, yellow and striped shirts, and some sit with hands folded. The polished floor reflects the orange-clad speaker.2010-10-23A photograph of a large seated gathering inside a hall with white walls, a white draped ceiling and a metal truss rig holding a speaker. Many participants sit cross-legged wearing white blindfolds made of cloth bands over their eyes, dressed in white and pastel clothes. A single standing man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair stands in the centre among the seated crowd, facing left. Orange and yellow patterned fabric hangs from the ceiling at the top, and an orange door is visible at right.2009-06-13
