A photograph inside a bare whitewashed hall with a concrete floor and grilled windows, showing people walking in a line toward the right. Foreground at left, an older man in white clothes presses his palms together in greeting. Two men in white dhotis and shirts walk behind; one wears a yellow shawl and the other a red-orange scarf. In front, a figure in a long saffron-orange robe walks barefoot with long hair swept back, his hands held near his chest. Woven mats are rolled on the floor at right and a loose yellow cord hangs from the ceiling. Probable Swamiji (in-person cues: saffron robe and long swept-back hair) at a Dhyanapeetam centre opening.

August 03 20092009-08-03January 27 20072007-01-27A photograph inside a plain whitewashed hall with a bare concrete floor and barred windows. Two bearded men in white ritual cloth walk toward the viewer, one with a white shawl draped over his head and shoulders, the other in white with a sash. To the right, a man with a shaved head, red forehead mark, and orange robe with a gold-coloured necklace stands smiling. In the doorway behind them, more people in white and orange, and a figure in red and blue robes, are visible. A small brass plaque is mounted on the left wall. No a person candidate is distinguishable by the qualifying cues; the bearded men wear ordinary white clothing and the orange-robed man has no distinctive adornments beyond the necklace, so identity is uncertain. Approximately five to six people are visible.2009-08-06August 09 20072007-08-09August 16 20092009-08-16August 03 20092009-08-03A photograph in a bright, white-walled hall with a polished marble floor and barred windows. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back dark hair, a large gold-toned ceremonial necklace and a tilak on his forehead, gestures with one hand while walking. Beside him an older man with grey hair wears a white shirt and white dhoti with a gold border, a rudraksha mala and an ID badge, moving with raised hand. Several men in white kurta-dhotis with ID badges, one in an orange cloth, walk behind, and a man in a green checked shirt stands at the left edge. The saffron-clad figure has distinctive long hair, a gold ceremonial necklace and saffron robes, so an appearance-based candidate for a person is present but the identification is uncertain.2009-08-16August 02 20092009-08-02November 21 20092009-11-21A tented hall with blue fabric canopy and metal poles. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair, a red forehead mark, and an orange saffron wrap walks barefoot across green-and-white mats. Around him, men in white kurta and dhoti with orange shawls and rudraksha malas walk alongside. Red plastic chairs are stacked in rows behind, and framed photographs hang on the wall. The central figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, so this is a person candidate present in person, with companions in white ritual dress.2007-12-13A photograph inside a bare, whitewashed hall with a concrete floor, where a procession of barefoot men walks toward an open doorway. In the centre a man with long dark hair wears a bright orange sleeveless robe and a long rudraksha mala, looking ahead. Beside and behind him, several men in orange and saffron robes, one wearing an orange turban and bead necklaces, walk alongside a man in a yellow garment and figures in white with orange shawls. Two attendants hold white feathered fans aloft. Light enters through the doorway and high windows, and the scene reads as a ceremonial walk within an ashram-style building.2007-08-09November 25 20092009-11-25
