A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in an indoor hall with red and white draped backdrop and ornate gold thrones. An elderly man in saffron-orange robes sits on the left thrones with palms joined in greeting, smiling. Beside him a man in a red and white headpiece with garlands sits with palms joined. A woman in a blue and yellow saree kneels with hands folded. A standing dancer in a red blouse and yellow silk saree, with a long braid adorned with flowers and a white floral headpiece, stands on a red carpet. A man in white kurta with hands joined stands nearby, and saffron-robed monastics sit at right. Framed photographs hang on the walls, and a pedestal fan is visible. Possibly an arangetram-related event.

Center, a young man in a red-and-gold turban and a garland stands near a throne. Two dancers in traditional Bharatanatyam costume stand at right: one in red and gold with a flower-adorned braid and jewellery, the other in orange and red. A woman in a blue and yellow sari with a long braid bends forward with garlanded hair beside them. Framed photo collages hang on the wall behind, and a standing fan sits near the stage.

A seated man in a red and gold turban, saffron-and-gold robe and gold-embroidered garment holds his hands in namaste. Kneeling before him on the carpet is a woman in a turquoise blouse and yellow sari, offering a gesture of reverence at his feet. To the left, a bald elderly man in orange robes sits on a gold chair. Behind, a man in orange with a rudraksha mala stands, and two young women in orange and yellow saris hold garlands. A framed collage photo on the wall is labelled Inner Awakening. Appearance cues on the seated man are a turban and ornate gold clothing, so a person label applies, but the role is a seated figure on a throne receiving reverence.2014-06-01A photograph of a puja scene in a hall with a dark blue curtain and a tree backdrop. A man with long dark hair, orange robe, rudraksha mala and a white flower garland sits with hands folded in a gold and red throne, with eyes closed; a probable Swamiji by appearance and seated as the focus. A woman in a white sari with a maroon border and a bindi kneels at left holding a small offering, next to a bald man in white with a yellow shawl and folded hands. A woman in a teal blue sari sits at right holding a small object. Several women with hair buns sit in the foreground beside brass trays of apples, red flowers, and pink blossoms in clear containers.

Wearing a rudraksha mala and bangles, he sits with hands resting in his lap. Around the stage, seven people sit on red and patterned floor mats: women in red and orange saris, a man in white, an elderly man in white with glasses, and a woman in a green sari with hands in anjali. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, with a brass pooja tray and offerings in front. Behind them a painted backdrop shows a sunset sky and a crowned deity face. The setting suggests a Nithya Kriya class or satsang.2011-11-06September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesDecember 23 20102010-12-23A padapuja ceremony under a white tent with floral-garlanded golden throne.
