A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with hands pressed together in anjali stands alone near the screen, facing left toward a group. To the left, a row of about ten men in white ashram clothes with hands folded in namaskar stand together; several wear yellow or white neck cords and one wears a red-and-saffron shawl. A yellow and blue decorated hanging is at upper left and white draped fabric lines the ceiling. A black bag sits on the floor by the group.

December 15 20092009-12-15A photograph of a hall with a light tiled floor and a wooden double door in the background. In the foreground on the right, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a red-orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, head bowed, a red tilak on his forehead; the cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a bindi-style mark, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm an identity, so this is a sannyasi. To the left, several men in white kurtas and dhotis with yellow lanyards stand with hands folded in namaste, one in a red shawl. A projection screen on a stand and a small cooler sit to the right, with a red cloth and offering tray at the lower right edge.2009-12-15December 14 20092009-12-14December 16 20092009-12-16Indoor hall photographed from the side during a session. In the centre, a woman in a long orange-red robe stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, facing a white projection screen on a stand. To the left, a group of people in white clothes and white dhotis stand with hands folded, some wearing red or orange shawls, and a few younger men in casual clothes sit on orange and white mats on the floor. A bright studio light on a tripod stands beside the screen, a small projector sits on a white-draped table, and a yellow-draped table is at the right. A colourful patterned banner hangs from the ceiling at upper left, and white draped fabric decorates the walls.2009-07-02December 16 20092009-12-16A photograph inside a hall with white walls and a white draped ceiling valance. In the right foreground a man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe stands with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes lowered. Behind him and to the left, a group of devotees stand with hands folded in namaskar: a man in a striped checked shirt and white dhoti, men in white kurta and off-white clothing, a man in a striped black-and-white top with a lanyard, and a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl. Orange cushions and water bottles lie on the floor, and a yellow and multicoloured hanging cloth hangs from the ceiling.2009-12-18December 17 20092009-12-17July 02 20092009-07-02A photograph of a hall with white walls and a patterned yellow and blue hanging near the ceiling. Around a dozen people stand in a row on the left with palms pressed together in anjali, most in white dhoti and kurta or casual shirts and trousers, one in a striped sweater, and an older woman in white near the centre. On the right, a single person in a long orange robe stands with hands folded in prayer near an open brown door, facing away from the camera. Orange cloth, water bottles and books rest on a mat in front of the group, with a white pedestal fan and speaker on the right.2009-12-18A photograph of a bare-walled hall with white tiled floor and a wooden door frame. A figure in a long saffron-orange robe and orange lower garment, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala around the neck, walks forward with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Several men in white kurtas and white dhotis stand or sit with hands folded at left, one wearing a skullcap. An orange cloth rests on a black speaker, a fan stands nearby, and a projection screen and loudspeaker are at right. The orange-robed figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role of devotee or person is used. The scene suggests a satsang or morning session with people greeting each other.2009-07-02July 20 20092009-07-20
