Four smiling men in orange and saffron robes stand together under an orange-roofed open dining pavilion with metal trusses and fluorescent tube lights. The man on the left has a full dark beard and a red tilak, and is raising a hand in greeting. Beside him a younger man in a white kurta with an orange shawl laughs with his hand raised. Two men on the right in orange clothing smile broadly, one with a wristwatch and a red tilak. Behind them, people sit at long tables with steel plates and white plastic chairs. No a person candidate is distinguishable by the cues required for identification, so the men are described by role only as devotees.

Photo inside an open-sided dining pavilion with a corrugated roof, metal trusses and hanging fluorescent tubes. Four people laugh together in the foreground: a bearded man on the left in orange robes with a maroon sash, a smiling young man in white kurta with an orange shawl at centre, and two men in orange robes on the right, one with his hand raised mid-gesture. Behind them, white plastic chairs and steel serving trays are set on tables, with more people and a woman in yellow and white at the back. No one here is identified by face; the scene shows monastic-style orange clothing at a shared meal.2008-12-25December 25 20082008-12-25A photograph taken under a open-sided thatched and metal-framed shelter shows a smiling man at left wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over his body and a long rudraksha mala, with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, eyes closed and laughing. Behind him stand several devotees in white dhotis and white saris with orange shawls, several laughing and smiling, and a person in white holds a video camera. A red-painted wall and bamboo blinds are visible in the background, with a small tray of offerings at the lower left. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala) appears laughing at left, with devotees in orange shawls around him.2006-11-20A photograph inside an open-sided pavilion with a bamboo-mat and corrugated roof. On the left, a long-haired man in an orange saffron dhoti-wrap smiles broadly, wearing a long rudraksha mala and holding a small object in one hand. Behind him stand a line of smiling devotees in white ritual dhotis and kurtas with orange shawls, some wearing red-and-white threaded beads. A cameraman in white stands at the back right holding a video camera. A pedestal fan and a metal stand sit in the foreground, with a green cloth on the floor and a brass plate near the bottom edge.

Several people stand in the background, and the scene reads as informal ashram life during the Maheshwara Puja period.2006-11-20A photograph of a covered ashram hall with a corrugated roof and a standing electric fan. In the foreground on the left, a smiling man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and an orange saffron wrap holds a rudraksha mala in one hand and gestures with the other. Several white-clad men stand behind him, some wearing orange shawls and rudraksha malas, and a man in white with a camera on his shoulder records the scene at the upper right.
