A photograph of a crowded indoor gathering in a plain hall with white walls and fluorescent lights. In the lower left, a figure in orange saffron robes with long dark hair sits facing a circle of devotees, the face partly visible; treat as a candidate with cues of long swept hair and orange clothing, so the appearance is a person but the cues are only partial, so unsure. Around him, people in white ritual clothes wear rudraksha malas: a man in white kurta and mala in the centre, a young woman in white with orange border sari and jasmine flowers in her hair, a boy in white, and an older woman in a red floral sari. A cameraman in orange and white raises a video camera at the back, and another man in orange holds a mala-adorned posture at the right edge. Roughly fifteen to twenty people are visible.

A long-haired person in an orange-red garment and a garland of green fruits sits on the floor at lower right, appearing to be a sannyasi; the appearance cues are a long swept-back hairstyle and an orange garment, but these are not sufficient to confirm identity, so this is a sannyasi/guest role. Around him, a man in white shirt and dark rudraksha-style mala gestures while speaking. Several devotees in white dhotis and white saris with gold borders stand or kneel with folded hands, and a woman in a blue sari with gold jewellery kneels with hands pressed together. Several others crowd the doorway behind them.2009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08January 03 20122012-01-03August 08 20092009-08-08July 28 20082008-07-28Indoor photo of a devotee exchanging greetings with a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe, who sits at the right edge of the frame and clasps her hands. The woman wears a white sari with a gold border and a rudraksha mala with a pendant. Behind them a man in white with a rudraksha mala and pendant watches, a small boy in a grey shirt stands between them, and several older people in light clothing, including a woman in a floral sari, stand along the left wall. A red cloth draped on the far right and a harmonium-like instrument on a table add to the room.
