A photograph of a large hall with seated devotees on mats. In the foreground, three men sit cross-legged with palms joined in prayer, wearing white dhotis with orange-gold borders and red rudraksha malas. The man on the far left has long hair tied back, a bare chest with bead armbands, and an orange-gold shawl. The centre man has white hair and a white forehead mark. The man on the right wears glasses, a white shawl with gold border, and a red mala, with tripundra markings on his forehead. Behind them rows of seated devotees, some in orange and white clothing, sit in a bright hall with framed wall artwork. No candidate can be confidently matched to the named teacher from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.

In the foreground, several men in white ceremonial clothes with gold-bordered white dhotis and red-brown rudraksha malas kneel on mats, holding their nostrils with fingers, a Kriya-style nostril practice. Some wear white shirts and vertical tilaka marks on their foreheads. Behind them, others in saffron-orange garments and people in light clothes sit in rows. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the foreground, so no in-person candidate is confirmed. About a few dozen people are visible.2015-06-21A photograph of a seated puja in a hall with woven mats. In the foreground a man with a shaved head, white dhoti and shawl, a red rudraksha mala and white tripundra markings sits cross-legged, eyes lowered, hands resting near a brass plate and small lamps. Beside him a younger devotee in white with a folded-hands namaskar pose sits in front of a brass bell and offering vessels. Behind them several men in white garments with bare-chested sitting postures and white forehead marks sit in rows, along with other devotees in the background. Oil lamps, brass vessels and a tray with ritual items are visible. The scene reads as a padapuja-style ritual gathering.2010-09-22October 09 20102010-10-09January 08 20172017-01-08March 13 20162016-03-13October 30 20162016-10-30September 02 20162016-09-02 +1 copiesMay 19 20172017-05-19January 06 20172017-01-06
