A indoor hall with many men in white shirts and white dhotis standing with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing a long table covered with a white cloth and decorated with white flowers. In the foreground a man in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala bends forward over the table, hands extended toward the cloth, apparently performing a ritual offering. Among the devotees a woman in a red and gold sari stands with folded hands, and a few people are seated or standing near open doorways and windows in the background. The scene is a satsang-style gathering with devotees paying respects at a ritual table.

A crowded indoor hall with pale walls and wooden-shuttered windows. Many men in white shirts and white dhotis stand closely around a central group, some with hands folded in namaskar. A man in a white shirt at centre holds the front of a red-and-gold tray or cloth-covered object that several men are lifting and steadying. Women in saris, one in a teal shawl, and a small child stand among them. Behind them, people stand in the open doorway with a white bus visible outside. At lower right a man in an orange-saffron robe is seen from behind. One man's white shirt has a printed Dhyanapeetam logo with a figure in blue.2008-07-11A photograph inside a hall with white walls and framed portraits along the upper wall. Several devotees stand with palms pressed together in prayer, some with eyes closed. A young man in front right wears an orange saffron robe, orange cloth, a rudraksha mala, a white forehead mark and a wristwatch, kneeling with folded hands. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, a woman in a gold-bordered sari with a mangalsutra, a bearded man in white, and a young boy in white clothes also pray. A blue-green object is partly visible at the left edge. The people wear white, sari colours and tilak marks, and the setting appears to be a devotional ritual.2008-07-11A photograph of a crowded indoor hall where a devotee in a saffron robe with a red cloth sits at a low table, seated in front of a brass lamp and offerings. Several devotees stand close together around him: a woman in a cream sari with gold border and a dark rudraksha mala, a woman in a red blouse and red shawl with a mala, a man in a white shirt holding a small white-wrapped bundle, and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. The saffron-robed figure has a white forehead marking and a rudraksha mala and seems to be applying something to the table. Behind them a larger group of men and women in white shirts and saris stands in a plain room with pink walls. The figure in saffron appears to be a sannyasi or priest rather than a clearly identifiable individual, so no identification is made.2008-07-11March 16 20032003-03-16January 12 20072007-01-12A photograph of a crowded indoor hall where a line of men in white shirts and white dhoti-style trousers kneel and bow with palms pressed together in namaste.
