Night photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard lit by a string of small orange lights strung through trees and a few green-tinted spotlights. Several people stand on dark ground: white-clad devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, and two saffron-robed sannyasis in orange garments, one at the centre-left and one at the right edge. Structures and scaffolding appear at the far left, with a yellow cloth on the ground at right. The scene reads as an evening gathering at an ashram event.

August 03 20092009-08-03August 03 20092009-08-03Night photograph of a group walking across a dirt ground lit by strings of small festoon lights and tall white light tubes on poles, with a woven bamboo fence on the left. Seven people walk in a loose line: several in plain white dhotis and shirts, and two in saffron/orange robes, one carrying a yellow shawl. Some figures hold their hands raised. The scene appears to be a nighttime procession or walk at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam centre. No individual can be confidently identified from appearance, so no a person candidate is asserted.2009-08-03Night photograph of a group walking across a sandy open ground toward a wooden frame structure with lights. Nine people in white dhotis and shirts, several with yellow or orange shawls and rudraksha-style necklaces, walk in a loose line. Two figures in saffron/orange robes lead the group, one on the left with a shaved head and one on the right with a long orange garment. Strings of lights and a lit white building are visible in the background. Nearby is a wooden pole frame.2009-08-03December 09 20062006-12-09A dimly lit night photograph of a group walking across a dark open ground toward the left. In the foreground on the right, a man in an orange saffron robe, orange head wrap and a long beaded rudraksha mala walks alone with his head lowered. Behind him, a group of about eight people in white dhotis and white shirts or kurtas, several with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, walk in a loose line. A tall illuminated lamp post stands at the left edge. The scene is mostly dark with faint lights in the background.2008-11-11Night photo of a procession walking along an unpaved dirt road toward strings of lights and a banner. In front, a man in saffron robes wears a long marigold garland over his shoulders and bare feet; a rudraksha mala hangs around his neck. Beside and behind him, several men in saffron and orange robes carry a tray or offering, and a group of people in white dhotis and shirts walk behind them, with a figure in a yellow shirt at the left edge. Prayer flags are strung along a fence at the right. The scene shows a garlanded procession, but the figure's identity cannot be established from appearance alone.2012-01-08Night photograph of a crowd of devotees gathered outdoors under strings of small lights and street lamps, with trees and a dark sky behind them. Most men wear plain white shirts and dhotis, and several women wear white or cream saris. A central figure in saffron-orange robes stands among the crowd, one arm raised, with a shaved head; the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone. Several people stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and one older man wears a lanyard. The scene suggests a gathering or satsang in an outdoor garden setting.2012-04-06December 21 20072007-12-21January 08 20122012-01-08December 30 20092009-12-30Night photograph on a dirt path beneath dark trees, with leafy branches framing the left and right edges. In the foreground a bare-chested man in an orange cloth wrap walks toward the camera, with dark swept-back hair and a ceremonial marking on his forehead; the page notes a person at this event, but his appearance alone is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm, so he is described by role as a devotee in orange. Behind him several people in white clothes and orange shawls walk in procession, one woman in white carrying a small lit oil lamp, and another person carries a red cloth bag. A red-painted mound or offering area with stones is visible in the background near a dim lamp glow.2006-12-10
