A photo inside a hall with red curtains and a gold-framed throne at right. A young woman in a yellow floral salwar kameez receives a small book from a man seated at right in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas and gold bangles, with a headset microphone; he holds a book in his other hand. Behind them, several saffron-robed men, some shaved-headed and some with white tilaka, sit or stand, and a woman in a white sari with red border and other devotees in white and yellow watch. A tall air conditioner and pedestal fans stand against the wall. The page labels this as a person, probable, from the saffron clothing, rudraksha malas, headset and throne setting.

A satsang-style gathering indoors, with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a golden throne-like chair in the background. In the foreground, a bare-chested man with a ceremonial beaded mala and bangles, wearing saffron cloth and a shawl over the shoulder, hands out a book to a young girl in a blue top and a white-and-pink-trimmed saree-clad woman stands at left. Other devotees in saffron and brown robes with rudraksha malas and tilak marks stand and sit nearby, some holding hardback books, and a red-cushioned seat is at right. A printed credit line overlays the image, and the book covers show a temple scene with a deity image. Several people are holding out copies of the book.2013-10-28October 28 20132013-10-28May 06 20162016-05-06May 28 20132013-05-28October 28 20132013-10-28A photograph inside a hall with a floor-standing air conditioner, red curtains and a gold-accented seat.

On the right, a man in orange and rust-coloured robes with a rudraksha mala and a headset microphone smiles and extends a book toward a bowing woman in a white sari with yellow floral print.

The gathering appears to be a book distribution during a satsang.2013-10-28A seated figure on a large brown leather throne with carved wooden crest smiles broadly while extending a hand to receive a glossy booklet from a standing monk. The seated figure wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold-trimmed edge, a long rudraksha mala, a heavy gold-toned necklace, a white tilak on the forehead and a red dot, and holds a colourful open book on the lap. The standing monk in a deep orange-red robe with gold-yellow trim wears a rust-coloured shawl and glasses and presents a folder with an illustrated cover. Behind them, cream chairs, scattered red and orange cloths, a water bottle and a small wooden side table fill a bright hall with exhibition panels, while other people sit on the floor in the background. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair, a saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace.2015-07-09
