Indoor house-visit scene in a plain white room with a doorway behind. A man with long dark hair swept back, a white vibhuti forehead mark, multiple rudraksha mala strands and gold ornaments, wearing a rust-orange robe, sits smiling and is attended closely by others. A younger shaved-headed attendant in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands behind. A woman in white and gold-trimmed sari with a rudraksha mala holds food near the seated figure, a cardboard box of fruit and flowers sits nearby, and a curly-haired child in red looks on. Elderly women in saris stand at the back.2014-07-07October 28 20132013-10-28A seated figure in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti with a bare upper body, wearing a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold-toned necklace, holds a small object over a wooden tray of fruit and offerings while standing young attendants in orange cloth and rudraksha malas assist. Several women in white saris with marigold garlands and a little girl in a pink top gather close, some with hands folded, in a plain room with orange drapes and a framed picture on the wall. The seated figure's appearance is ambiguous and not enough to confirm an identity, so it is described by role only.2014-06-27A seated man in saffron-orange robes wears a long red and gold flower garland and gold bangles, extending his hand toward a young boy in white with a red sash who kneels before him. A woman in green and cream sari with rudraksha mala and bangles smiles as she kneels beside the boy. A box of sweets and fruit sits in front, with an orange towel on the sofa. Other women in orange and white stand in the background, and a wall air conditioner is visible.2013-05-28July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28A photograph of a pada puja-style ritual in an ashram hall with a blue patterned backdrop and red carpet.

A seated woman in a rust-orange sari with a red turban and gold necklace, facing left, hands over papers or cards to a standing man. Beside him a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and a white vertical mark on his forehead, looking down. Behind them a woman in white with a brown shawl and a bead mala. Several men in white shirts and yellow or cream shawls stand in a line, and a man kneels in white in front. A gold-framed deity murti decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands stands at left. Framed pictures hang on the wall at top right. The shaved-headed man in orange lacks the long hair, crown or ornate cues needed for a probable identification, so his identity remains unsure.2014-10-26July 03 20142014-07-03A 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.2013-10-28
