Devotees stand in two queues inside a long covered hall with a corrugated roof and metal railings, awaiting darshan. On the left, women in white and pastel saris, one in a plain white sari with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, stand with hands folded in namaste or held still. On the right, men in pink shirts, white shirts and white dhotis stand in line, one with hands clasped. Colourful tall cylindrical decorative pillars with geometric patterns hang from the roof beams, and framed photographs line the left wall. The floor is covered with mats, and a small white plastic chair sits by the wall.

December 05 20092009-12-05A photograph inside a covered, tent-like passage hung with yellow paper streamers and decorated pillars with red and yellow floral motifs. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe stands centre, extending a hand toward devotees, while a man in white with a yellow shawl holds an orange tray with offerings. Devotees line metal barriers on both sides, many with palms pressed together in namaskar, including women in white and striped shirts. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-robed figure has long swept-back hair and orange clothing, and is positioned as the central honoured presence receiving devotees. Several people line the railing, and the scene reads as a darshan line.2009-12-03December 16 20092009-12-16December 09 20092009-12-09October 09 20112011-10-09December 05 20092009-12-05November 29 20112011-11-29October 07 20062006-10-07A photograph of devotees lining both sides of a long hall with a red and gold striped runner down the centre.
