A photograph in an indoor hall with a light ceiling and a large framed portrait of a smiling woman with long dark hair on the back wall, draped with cream fabric. In the foreground a man in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, with a red bindi, raises his right hand in blessing and smiles, with a gold bangle on his wrist. Beside him a man in orange with a shaved head and glasses stands near a silver tray. Several devotees in front, including a man in a purple shirt, a man in green, and a man in white, stand with palms pressed together in namaskar. A man in cream clothing stands at the left edge. A projector screen shows a slideshow. The swami figure in orange has distinctive long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, consistent with a person presence, though the appearance is uncertain.2011-11-16October 26 20102010-10-26 +1 copiesNovember 13 20112011-11-13A photograph in an indoor hall with ceiling lights and a draped backdrop.
