Outdoor satsang setting in front of a hill, with rows of seated devotees in white clothes on black chairs facing a raised platform. On the platform stands a deity murti decorated with marigold and multicolour garlands and an orange cloth, flanked by a brass lamp and other brass ritual vessels on a low mat. Stacked shipping containers, a white van and white pillars frame the open ground under a bright blue sky.

An outdoor ritual gathering with rows of seated devotees dressed in white, many kneeling before small black lingams on a paved courtyard. On the left, a large deity murti with an orange face and red-and-orange cloth is adorned with yellow, pink and white garlands, a rudraksha mala, and a gold necklace, set on a draped white-and-striped cloth. Two older people in white clothes stand near the rows, one bending over offerings, while a few others in white and blue move through the background. Containers and a hillside appear behind the courtyard, with scattered flower petals on the ground.2012-01-08January 08 20122012-01-08January 08 20122012-01-08January 08 20122012-01-08February 03 20172017-02-03January 08 20122012-01-08February 03 20172017-02-03Outdoor ritual under a corrugated metal canopy in front of a decorated deity murti shrine with garlands and a tall ornate backdrop. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on a raised platform before a gold-colored stand holding offerings and a brass vessel, while another person in white stands nearby with hands folded. A framed portrait sits on an orange armchair beside the platform. Seated rows of women and girls in orange saris with red borders face the platform, and a bare-headed sannyasi in orange sits at left. Plants, a red wall and a loudspeaker are visible in the background. Whether the saffron-robed central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is given as a seated sannyasi.2014-10-02December 19 20112011-12-19Outdoor satsang under a canopy of green netting and red fabric hung with red, white and green flower garlands wrapped around two pillars. A seated figure with long dark hair, seen from behind, sits on a blue-grey throne-like seat. A large stone table in front holds a floral garland and scattered petals, and a brass lamp stand with a trident-like finial and white garlands stands at left. Around them, a large crowd of devotees, many in saffron-orange robes, sit on mats and watch; a child in a blue dress sits at right. Camera operators and a standing figure in orange are visible at the back, and a black pedestal fan stands at right.2018-05-24September 26 20112011-09-26December 24 20082008-12-24
