Close photograph of a woman in an orange sari and a dark-patterned blouse holding up a large curved, tarnished metal blade with a red mark on it. A red cloth with gold tinsel is wrapped around the blade's base, and the blade rests on a metal stand. Her face is turned away and partly hidden by her raised arm. Another person's hand appears at the right edge, and blurred figures stand in the background. The setting appears to be a ritual or devotional gathering.

March 04 20132013-03-04A man seated in an indoor room with pale walls and a window behind him holds a long curved metal blade-like object upright with one hand while his other hand is raised to his lips, eyes lowered. He wears orange draped cloth, a leopard-print shawl, multiple rudraksha mala strands and a gold chain with a round gold pendant, plus white horizontal tilak and a red dot on his forehead. Red fruits sit at the lower left edge. A second person in orange clothing stands blurred at the right. Behind him a person figure with rudraksha malas, ornate gold chain and orange garments is shown, with the scene matching a satsang-era event.2013-03-04A seated person in orange robes and a leopard-print shawl holds a long, tarnished silver-toned ceremonial blade or sword up to the forehead, with a red tilak mark visible. The blade is wrapped at the base with red and gold shimmering cloth, and a gold chain and rudraksha-style beads adorn the shawl. Eyes are lowered in a reverent gesture. A faint bird logo appears in the upper left corner and a copyright line is in the lower right.2013-03-04A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, wearing a dense multi-strand rudraksha mala and small gold hoop earrings. He sits on a red upholstered seat beside a golden ornamental pillar, holding a curved, weathered blade with a red and blue handle while looking down at it. Behind him a large printed banner shows a stylised face with a dark mark on the forehead and wide teeth, with a faint purple logo in the upper left corner. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, but the image is too uncertain to confirm, so the a person value is unsure. He is the only physical person visible.2012-07-05September 09 20122012-09-09June 29 20092009-06-29April 05 20082008-04-05Close photo of a seated person on a red cushioned seat, wearing a leopard-print silk top and saffron-orange lower garment.
