In the centre a person with long dark hair and bare upper body wears an orange-saffron dhoti-wrap and walks barefoot across a sheet of white plastic on the floor. Behind them a person in white ritual clothing carries folded cloth and a bundle. To the right a metal table holds a large steel pot and bowl. On the left a framed portrait shows a face with a red dot on the forehead, and an orange and black patterned cloth hangs from the ceiling.

A figure in a long saffron-orange robe and orange lower garment, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala around the neck, walks forward with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Several men in white kurtas and white dhotis stand or sit with hands folded at left, one wearing a skullcap. An orange cloth rests on a black speaker, a fan stands nearby, and a projection screen and loudspeaker are at right. The orange-robed figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role of devotee or person is used. The scene suggests a satsang or morning session with people greeting each other.2009-07-02A photograph of a ritual in a plain white-walled hall with a tiled floor. A framed portrait of a long-haired woman in orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace, garlanded with red and orange flowers, stands at right on an orange cloth, labelled as a portrait of Swamiji's picture. In the foreground a man in an orange robe bends over a metal pot beside a low wooden seat. Seated devotees in orange robes with beads and necklaces sit cross-legged on mats, some with small brass cups before them, and leaf plates hold food offerings. Standing behind them are people in white dhoti and saree-style garments, one woman in a green-bordered white saree, and a man with a white shawl. Bright lamp lighting fills the room.2011-03-05August 17 20062006-08-17August 09 20072007-08-09A covered open-sided hall with an orange tin roof and long steel-topped serving tables with blue legs.
