A photograph inside a large hall with white tent-style walls and a gold-draped ceiling valance, where a seated audience in white clothes with orange-red shawls sits on striped floor mats facing a raised altar area. Many participants, mostly women with long dark hair, sit close together while some lean forward in devotion. At the front, a brass lamp stand and ornate golden shrine items surround a central fire pit with offerings, consistent with a homa or yagna. To the right, a gold throne-like seat with golden umbrellas and a deity murti stands near a figure in saffron robes seated beside it. A small deity murti with a golden frame sits behind the homa area. Colourful bunting hangs from the upper right.

July 06 20152015-07-06A photograph of a large seated congregation inside a covered hall with a wooden roof and gold-fringed white and yellow drapes. Many participants sit cross-legged on striped red-and-blue mats, most wearing white clothes with red-and-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. In the centre background, a decorated golden throne with a deity murti and ornate parasols stands on a raised purple-covered platform, flanked by brass lamps and a potted tree. Foreground attendees watch the proceedings, with a plastic water bottle on the mat. The scene suggests a satsang or initiation gathering, but no clear individual is distinguishable as a person in this image.2015-07-06July 06 20152015-07-06October 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesA photograph of a large open-air ceremony under a white tent.
