Night photograph of a thatched, open-sided pavilion with a bamboo-slatted roof and wooden posts, lit by warm electric lights. At the left, hanging garlands and dried items line the stall, and a seated person in white works at a low counter. In the centre, a person in a red top sits behind a harmonium on a raised platform near stacked green cylindrical pillars. Brick-paved ground and steps lead up to the structure. No clearly identifiable a person is visible, so the appearance is uncertain.

Under the thatch, two men in white dhotis sit on the ground near a small sunken fire pit or hearth, one bent low and tending it. A large round woven bamboo basket or grain bin stands at right.

A street lamp stands beside a yellow bamboo railing. Inside the pavilion, a few people in white clothes sit and bend low on the ground, and a woman in a green sari sits at the right edge beside a hanging basket and a small light. The setting appears to be a rural camp or exhibition area with a lit pathway in the foreground.2010-09-26Evening aarti in a covered hall with a long metal table laid with brass oil lamps and a lit lamp tray. Standing priests in white clothing with red-orange shawls hold lamps before a shrine of deity murti and framed pictures on the back wall. A seated woman in a red garment and a man in white sit on the floor beside brass vessels. Seated audience in white and light clothing fills the left side, and orange drapes hang beside decorated pillars.2009-06-01Interior of a red-walled hall with a tiled roof, strings of mango-leaf or grass garlands hanging from the beams, and fairy lights along the pillars. Rows of seated devotees, many in white, saffron, yellow and pink saris and kurtas, face a shrine area at the back where a deity murti sits beneath a canopy. At the left, a camera operator in a white dhoti with gold border stands behind a tripod-mounted video camera filming the gathering. Oil lamps and flower offerings are arranged near the altar.2017-04-05A thatched-roof open hall with bamboo rafters and palm-leaf walls, lit warmly at night. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned raised throne at the far end, with a small table and microphone in front. Seated devotees in white and pastel clothes fill the pink-tiled central aisle and side benches, facing the throne. A standing attendant in white stands at the left near a television screen. Oil lamps and offerings sit on the floor before the dais, and potted plants line the side. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron on the throne, identifiable by the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and the ceremonial setting.2006-11-18
