Indoor photograph of a devotee gathering at night. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and stands with hands folded in front of him. To the right, a lifelike seated figure of a man in white dhoti with a gold border and a red cushioned chair raises one hand in blessing; this is a statue, not a living person. Behind them, numerous people in white kurtas and dhotis and saffron shawls stand close together, and a woman in orange shawl stands on the left. A red and gold canopy fringe hangs at the top of the frame.

A large umbrella with red, orange and multicoloured tassels is held overhead, and a man at right holds a kalasha-like brass vessel. Behind them stands a crowd of about twenty people in white and orange. The seated figure appears to be a statue or wax figure in the same setting.2007-01-27A photograph of an indoor event at night. In the centre, a standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala rests one hand on the shoulder of a life-size seated figure in a white dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a red bindi, and a raised right palm in a blessing gesture. The seated figure is a statue or effigy, not a living person. On the left, a man in white holds a tall ornate banner pole with a yellow and red fringe. Behind them, a row of people in white and cream clothing stands with hands folded, and a few more are visible at the right edge. Several people in the background appear to be physical attendees.
