A photograph of an indoor event on a reddish-brown floor. In the foreground, a figure in an orange-red turban and matching orange-red cloth wrapped at the waist, with a yellow flower garland, leans forward and extends a yellow flower toward an older man seated on the floor in a white short-sleeved shirt and white trousers with a name badge on his chest. Behind them, standing people wear white and yellow clothing, a green pedestal fan stands on a green base, a cushioned chair sits in the back, and at right a metal bowl holds petals of red, pink and white. The seated man's head is bowed as he receives the flower. The figure in orange has distinctive long hair and cloth adornments, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-yellow saffron robe and matching turban, bare-chested with the robe draped over one shoulder, wearing a white jasmine garland and a multi-coloured garland of red and green flowers. The robed figure leans forward and places one hand on the crown of a shaved-headed man in a white shirt who kneels before him with hands joined in greeting. The robed figure's other hand cups the kneeling man's cheek. Behind them, several people in white ritual clothes stand with a silver bowl of offerings, and a woman in a white sari with a red bindi watches. White and pink flowers decorate a floral-upholstered chair and red petals cover the floor. A ceremonial blessing or padapuja-style greeting is visible; the setting resembles a satsang gathering with about six to twenty people visible.2002-05-26Photograph of a darshan moment indoors.

Between them sits a wooden tray with oranges, a yellow fruit, red chilies, and a small red-brown cloth. Around them are potted green plants, rocks, and a grass mat, with a small golden deity murti at the upper right. Behind them, a standing man in a white shirt holds a camera on a tripod, and other men in white shirts and saffron robes stand in the background near a white wall and an air conditioner. The seated man is an appearance-based a person candidate with a long swept-back hair, red floral garland and ochre robes, but the appearance is not sufficiently distinctive for certainty, so the role is given as seated devotee-facing figure and the identity is marked unsure.2015-01-04 +1 copiesIndoor photo in a small room with pink walls and green shelving.
