Night-time photograph at an outdoor programme. A figure in an orange-saffron garment with a pale yellow border, wearing a coral-bead necklace, gold earrings and a gold bangle, sits on the left, extending his hands to pass an item to a woman in a white embroidered sari with a red bead necklace and a thin gold chain, who bends forward with hands cupped to receive it. Behind them, a blue and maroon cloth is draped as a backdrop, and a few people in white and coloured clothing stand watching. A large gold-coloured decorative object is in the foreground, and a standing fan is visible at left. A yellow pamphlet is held near the bottom right. The figure on the left shows a person cues: orange robes, a coral mala and ceremonial gold adornment, seated in a presiding role.2015-08-31Night-time photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange shawl and a rust-orange wrap, wearing a long rudraksha-style bead necklace, a gold earring and a white vertical tilak on his forehead, with his hair tied up in a bun. He holds out his hands, palms together, to a woman in white clothing with a white shawl and gold bangles, who extends a white cloth toward him. Behind them, other seated people in white and cream clothes and a gold ceremonial object are visible, with a blue cloth hanging at the upper right and a partly visible person on the far right. Appearance is consistent with the page's a person candidate in a seated, energy-darshan style exchange, though his face is not clearly visible enough to confirm the identity.2015-08-31August 31 20152015-08-31August 31 20152015-08-31A seated man with long swept-back hair, wearing a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti-style garment and a large red-and-white flower garland, reaches forward to take a folded paper from a devotee's hand. He sits on a red cushioned seat beside a gold lion-shaped ornament and a brass oil lamp. In the background, women in orange and white saris with rudraksha malas sit on the floor under a white tent with a ceiling fan. A bald man in a striped shirt and beaded bracelets leans in from the right, holding the paper. The appearance matches the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, a flower garland and ceremonial gold-trimmed clothing, so the person is labelled Swamiji (probable). The scene reads as a satsang with devotees submitting written questions.2015-05-31August 31 20152015-08-31 +1 copiesNight-time photograph of a ritual exchange under a blue cloth canopy.

The figure extends their hands to receive or give an offering to a man on the right in a white collared polo shirt, glasses, a white forehead mark and a lanyard badge. Behind them, seated devotees in white and red clothing and rows of white plastic chairs fill the background, with a golden gilded object and a tall ornate structure visible near the top.

He smiles and reaches out his hand toward a woman in a white sari with a gold border and an orange rudraksha mala, who holds a small brass plate with a bell-like object and a folded paper or offering. Behind them, a golden lion-shaped decoration, a banana-leaf and yellow-cloth canopy, and a crowd of people in white and saffron dress are visible in the dark evening setting. The scene suggests a ritual offering or darshan.2015-08-09August 01 20142014-08-01August 05 20162016-08-05A night-time photograph of a devotional exchange at an outdoor event.
