Most wear white or pale clothing; women in saris of green, red, pink and maroon are among them, and some have white shawls over their heads. At the shrine, a stone-framed niche holds a richly decorated deity murti with gold and red drapery and a gold kalasha-like ornament at the top. In front is a framed portrait of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on a small altar with brass lamps and offerings. Red curtains hang around the shrine, and a metal railing separates the seated crowd from the shrine area. This appears to be a puja or darshan gathering.2010-06-06Interior of an orange-draped tent set up as a satsang hall. A large framed deity murti with a golden arch stands at the centre of a raised platform. In front of it, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a low seat, and a second seated figure in orange sits on a golden throne-like chair to the right. Striped decorative poles and hanging ornaments frame the tent, and a banner with printed text is visible at the top. Dozens of seated devotees in white dhotis, orange and red robes fill the floor, several with their backs to the camera. Two video cameras on tripods film the scene, and a speaker stands at the left.2013-02-15October 03 20082008-10-03
