A line of young women in colourful salwar-style clothing, including blue-striped, red and pink garments, waits to be served.

In the centre, a bare-chested man in an orange dhoti with a red sash stands with his back to the camera, facing a line of devotees who wear white clothes. Many people in white or cream kurtas and saris stand in rows, some holding small cloth bags or packets, and several children are in the front. A woman on the left wears a white sari with an orange border and a beaded necklace.

Two sannyasis in saffron-orange robes stand at a small table with a large steel vessel, serving items onto plates. One wears a shawl over bare shoulders and another wears a plain orange cloth. Devotees in white and cream sarees and white shirts queue to receive food, holding plates and papers. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left. A framed portrait hangs on a pole at upper right. The setting suggests a distribution line at an event.2009-02-28Night-time outdoor gathering at an ashram with a large crowd of devotees. In the foreground a bare-chested figure with long swept-back dark hair and an orange wrap, holding a microphone, faces the crowd and speaks. Around them many people wear white ritual clothes and orange shawls, with several young girls and children in front. On the right a man in white raises a video camera. A string of lights and a dark tree line appear behind. The figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues (long hair, orange wrap, bare chest), so this is a probable identification with the page's claim of Swamiji present; the figure is a presiding teacher speaking to devotees.2006-10-21December 15 20062006-12-15
