Indoor photo of a seated group in a temple-like room with a red banner above reading in Hindi with place names including Vrindavan, Baroda (Gujarat), Sriganganagar (Rajasthan) and Jalalabad. On the right, a man with long dark hair tied back wears a red and gold garment, layered gold-and-beaded necklaces and gold armlets, sitting and smiling. Beside him, a bald elderly man in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged on the floor near a low wooden table with papers. Further left, a bearded man in orange robes sits beside another seated figure in orange, and an onlooker in white clothes holds a cup near a silver-framed shrine with a deity murti. The seated right-hand figure with long hair and gold ornaments is a probable Swamiji, wearing ornate gold adornments and a red-and-gold garment.

Indoor photograph of a seated row of saffron-robed sadhus at a bhandara in a pillared hall with pink walls. In the foreground, a bearded man in orange shawl and white kurta sits cross-legged beside a bald man in orange robes. Behind them, more saints in orange sit on the floor, with a man in orange turban and a woman in red attire standing near a low wooden table holding steel thalis of marigolds and yellow flowers. A red banner with white and gold lettering hangs on the left wall. Devotees in white kurtas stand at the right.

The man at the centre has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala, gold armbands and a saffron wrap, and is seated beside a bald, white-bearded elder in orange with a rudraksha necklace. Other saffron-clad men with orange turbans sit at tables on the right, and cash notes and papers lie on the tables in front of them. The image is most plausibly the Haridwar bhandara described on the page, but the central man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2014-03-13May 05 20162016-05-05March 13 20142014-03-13September 10 20152015-09-10 +3 copiesSeptember 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copiesAnnadhan in 20142014-01-01 +1 copiesMay 06 20162016-05-06September 15 20152015-09-15
