A photograph inside a large hall with rows of white chairs and many seated attendees, mostly women in saris, in the background. In the foreground, a bearded man with a shaved head and white tilak with red bindi, wearing saffron robes, clasps hands in greeting with a smiling younger man in a red sleeveless top and red-orange shawl who wears a gold armlet. A woman in a red sari stands at left with bangles. Blue stage carpet and red-orange dais edge visible. The bearded man in saffron matches the appearance described by the page as a person, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the sannyasi is described by role.

To the left, an elderly bare-chested man with white hair and a red shawl sits watching, with yellow tilak on his forehead and red beads around his neck. Behind them are decorated deity murti figures garlanded with yellow and orange flowers, and a microphone stands at right. Several other people in orange clothing are partly visible. The men wearing orange are an in-person candidate for a person (unsure) given the uncertain appearance match, and the bearded man is a devotee or priest in this exchange.2009-12-30December 30 20092009-12-30April 28 20162016-04-28April 10 20132013-04-10
