A photograph of a courtyard ceremony at a temple-style pavilion with a thatched roof, hanging bells and brass lamps. Many devotees in orange saffron cloth and orange turbans stand with palms pressed together, some in orange shawls with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, facing a seated man in orange-red garments on a silver-trimmed throne bench. Women in orange and red saris stand near him. Numerous people are visible, mostly from behind. A red-walled building and a deity murti stand in the background. The scene suggests darshan or a puja with devotees paying respects.

Many people wear saffron-orange clothing. In the foreground several young women sit on the floor and steps, some with long dark hair, one smiling and leaning forward. A standing woman in a saffron sari with a blue bindi raises her hands in front of a stone pillar. Behind her, men in orange dhotis stand with hands folded in prayer near a stone platform, and a figure on the far right is bare-chested with an orange cloth around the waist. Oil lamps and a framed deity picture hang on the back wall.2017-08-08September 05 20162016-09-05A photograph of an outdoor temple pavilion with a thatched roof and a large hanging brass bell.

Behind him a woman in a maroon sari stands near a silver throne-like seat. Members of the group wear orange robes and kumkum on their brows. A carved stone Nataraja relief and ornate pillars frame the scene, with a wooden pole in the foreground.2017-08-08A photo of a satsang in an ashram hall with a red-painted wall and wooden pillars. A man with long dark hair and a bare chest, wearing a dark red-brown cloth, sits on a red cushioned swing-like seat holding a microphone, with a small table and a cup in front of him. He appears to be the discourse speaker; the appearance-based label is a person (long hair, bare chest, distinctive cloth and microphone), but the cues are not strong enough to confirm. Around him sit many devotees in orange robes and orange turbans, many with long hair down their backs, some with hands in anjali. A brass elephant-shaped stand and a silver-toned ornament are visible at left, and a television screen is on the left edge. A small group of people stands at the rear. The scene shows a seated discourse with the audience on the floor.2017-08-08August 08 20172017-08-08A crowded courtyard of young men in saffron-orange robes and orange turbans, many wearing rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, with white and red forehead markings.

Behind them, women in orange saris stand near a red-walled building with a wooden door and a thatched awning overhead.2017-08-08 +1 copiesAugust 08 20172017-08-08August 08 20172017-08-08
