A photograph inside a small room with a white-draped sofa covered by an orange cloth. A woman with dark hair and a dark red-brown robe with a gold-bordered sash sits centrally, wearing a large white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala, holding a silver trident aloft. Around her, shaven-headed sannyasis in orange robes sit and kneel, one holding a folded cloth, and a man in a white shirt kneels in front. A man in white dhoti with a sash stands at right, and a small framed deity image hangs in an alcove behind her with a red-and-yellow garland. Glass cabinet shelves at left hold framed deity pictures and a brass lamp. The scene appears to be a devotional gathering with a trident-bearing seated figure at its centre.

A seated person in orange and maroon robes, wearing a long multicolored flower garland with white, red and yellow blooms, holds a silver trident upright and smiles with eyes lowered. Seated on a red floral cloth around them are several devotees: a shaved-headed man in orange and maroon with a rudraksha-style necklace, a woman in a pink blouse, a girl in white with a long braid and a red flower, and men in white dhotis with orange shawls. Brass plates, bowls and fruit sit on an orange-draped table, beneath framed portraits and a small deity picture with garlands. Several people are visible; the central figure's identity is unsure from appearance alone.2013-06-23 +2 copiesA seated man with a swept-back dark hairstyle and tilak on his forehead wears a red-brown shawl over orange robes, with a red and yellow flower garland and a beaded necklace. He holds a tall silver trident-like staff upright, smiling. Two young saffron-robed disciples with shaved heads sit on the floor, one holding a lit oil lamp. In the foreground, devotees in grey and orange clothing kneel with folded hands, one woman in a purple sari. A standing man in white dhoti and orange shawl with a mala stands at right, and a niche with framed deity pictures and garlands is behind them. Appearance suggests a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in the centre, with cues including long swept-back hair, ornate beaded necklace, orange and red clothing and a trident staff, while a satsang or puja setting is shown.2014-07-10July 10 20142014-07-10
