Photograph inside a bright hall with pink walls, colourful striped hanging tassels and a draped white ceiling canopy. A man in ochre-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala walks along a pathway lined with metal stanchions and chains, passing a row of women in white and cream saris and kurtas who stand with palms pressed together in greeting. A bald young man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands beside the path with hands folded at his chest. Several women in white and orange saris are nearby, and a golden shrine structure and framed deity picture appear on the back wall.

In the foreground a man with long swept-back hair wears an orange robe, gold-bordered sash, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, and reaches to touch the head of a kneeling woman in a blue top with folded hands. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange holds a silver tray with offerings, and rows of standing devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls, some with white beards and black neck cords, line the aisle. The man with long hair and rudraksha cues qualify as a probable Swamiji, performing a blessing on the kneeling devotee.2011-02-20A bright hallway with pink walls and orange-and-colourful hanging tassels.
