A large framed panel on the wall shows a printed article with photographs, and colourful decorative pillars stand beside it. A bald man in white ritual clothing sits at right.

Four people sit on an orange cloth spread over a floor with a purple-and-blue patterned mat and scattered yellow flower petals. On the left, a woman in a maroon sari with a gold border and a yellow blouse holds a folded orange cloth in her lap. Beside her, a man in a grey shirt and light grey trousers sits cross-legged, garlanded with white flowers and red roses. Next, a woman in a green-and-red sari with a white-and-red garland sits with hands in her lap. At the far right, a shaved-headed man in white with a white garland sits with his hands folded. Behind them stands a red throne with a gold arch, and to the right are stacks of yellow blocks and bowls of food. Red and orange walls with a framed photo collage are behind them. No figure in the scene is clearly the a person candidate.2010-12-23November 29 20112011-11-29A photograph of a man standing indoors against a terracotta-coloured wall. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and a long gold bead necklace, and has a white tilak mark on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. His hands are pressed together at chest level in anjali mudra as he looks upward. Behind him a printed poster shows a text block headed 'A brush with Existence...' and framed photographs of older men and a group of seated women and children. A blue glove is visible on a table to the right. The appearance is consistent with a presentation of the page's named candidate, but the presentation cues are not sufficiently distinctive for a confident label. Only one physical person is present.2011-08-19December 21 20102010-12-21December 23 20102010-12-23December 02 20092009-12-02A photograph inside a covered hall with an orange-painted wall and a corrugated roof, hung with white paper flowers and tall painted cylindrical banners. Dozens of seated devotees sit on red and orange mats in front of a raised seating area. Several seated people wear garlands of white flowers with red blossoms; a man in a white dhoti and white kurta with a garland holds a small lamp in front of him, and a young woman in an orange sari sits near the front. A man in white kurta and garland plays a harmonium on the right beside a red-upholstered chair. On the left edge, a monk in orange robes is seen from behind. A framed panel on the wall shows a photograph of an elderly man with a caption about a 'Breach with Existence' and a portrait of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Blue and white bags rest in the foreground.2011-11-29Indoor ritual scene with an orange-red painted wall and a hanging wall poster of photographs above. A bald man in white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl stands at right, wearing a white flower garland with red blossoms, while a woman in red sari with green border and gold bangles, garlanded in white and red flowers, stands with head bowed. At left a woman in yellow blouse and maroon sari holds the hand of a bearded man in grey shirt and pants, who also wears white and red garlands. Gold-and-red ornate chairs and a brass plate with offerings sit on the floor, and a white-clad attendant is partly visible at left.2010-12-26March 07 20132013-03-07A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in a hall with orange walls and a corrugated roof, with a red carpet running down the centre aisle. A man in saffron robes with a shaved head sits cross-legged on the right, holding a lit lamp and a small vessel, while a row of people in white and cream clothing with saffron shawls sit on mats with brass plates and oil lamps in front of them. Several women seated at left hold lamps and brass dishes, and a row of seated devotees in the background watch. Flower garlands rest on a ledge at right, and colourful striped pillars and framed printed posters line the back wall.2010-10-02Photograph of a crowded indoor room with a corrugated metal ceiling and whitewashed walls. A man in an orange saffron shawl and a gold-beaded necklace stands at center with short dark hair and a red mark on his forehead, facing a group of devotees, among them women with long braids in red, pink and yellow saffron-toned saris and a man in a white shirt. Behind them on the wall are framed printed photographs and a text panel. A dark-haired woman in a white sweater stands at left, and a bearded older man in glasses stands at right. A rolled orange cloth hangs on the wall. Appearance-based probable identity: the orange-clad central man wearing a gold-beaded necklace matches a person by orange clothing and ornaments, though the cues are limited.2010-01-05October 17 20102010-10-17
