Photograph of a group walking across a polished dark floor in a wood-panelled hall with a banner reading JAYA GURUDATTA and SRI GURUDATTA. A central figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange turban, long dark hair, a gold-coloured necklace and beaded mala walks forward and gestures to his left; the appearance is a person by visible cues of orange turban, long hair and ornate necklace, yet the figure is shown as a sannyasi walking with attendants rather than an identified person in a clear setting. Around him are men in saffron, yellow and white dhotis, one in a yellow shawl pointing ahead, and attendants with white forehead markings and printed wall notices and a monitor behind them.

Indoor photo of a group walking through a wood-panelled hall with a dark polished floor.

On the left, men in white dhotis and cream shawls walk nearby. A wall sign reads Jaya Gurudatta and Sri Gurudatta in orange lettering, and a small flat-screen monitor shows a red image.

Around nine people are visible.2008-10-29Indoor photo in a wood-panelled hall with a polished dark floor. A cluster of about eight men walks toward the camera.
