In the foreground, a bare-chested man with white markings on his body sits with hands pressed together beside a golden lion-shaped object and a red-and-gold cloth draped over the knees of a woman in white. The woman in the centre wears a white blouse, red-and-saffron shawl, white forehead marking and beaded jewellery, and looks downward. Around them, women in white and saffron, a woman in a pink-and-gold sari, and children in white with red beaded necklaces sit attentively, some with hands folded. A woman in a yellow-gold blouse with a gold headpiece and tilak is at left. The scene appears to be a darshan or satsang gathering; no clearly identifiable a person is visible.2017-06-27August 04 20172017-08-04June 25 20152015-06-25A busy indoor hall with red curtains and a wall-mounted air conditioner. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers holds a blue booklet. Beside him, a shaved-headed monk in saffron robes with a long gold-and-beaded necklace and sandalwood markings on his forehead and arms receives a booklet. Another saffron-robed monk kneels, handing out booklets, and a woman in saffron with a red-and-gold blouse and beaded jewelry stands near a gold-ornamented seat. On the right, saffron-clad monks sit and stand, and a gold-trimmed throne with a red cushion holds a seated man in saffron with a beaded mala. Several devotees in white and pastel clothing stand in the background, and video monitors line the left edge.2013-10-28October 28 20132013-10-28Indoor photo of a satsang-style gathering with a man in a white kurta-style garment at left handing books to a seated person. The seated figure on the right wears an orange-brown robe, bare upper arm with copper bangles, rudraksha beads, and a dark hairstyle with an ear piece, and holds a book in both hands. Behind, a figure in orange robes and beaded necklaces sits before a large gold throne with a lion-shaped armrest. Other devotees in orange and a man in a checked shirt stand nearby, and red cushions and maroon curtains frame the room. The seated figure in orange on the throne shows distinctive long hair and rudraksha beads, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.2013-10-28Photograph of a devotional offering scene in an indoor hall with a dark red backdrop. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange cloth, a dense red and gold flower garland and gold ornaments, stands at center reaching toward a tray of offerings with a folded paper. In the foreground a shaved-headed attendant in saffron clothing with a rudraksha-style mala faces away, and a tray of fruits and sweets sits below. Devotees in white and light-coloured clothes stand with palms pressed together on the left and behind, watching. A visibly distinctive long-haired, saffron-garbed, garlanded presentation is present; identity is not established from the image alone.2013-05-28June 20 20132013-06-20A woman in a white sari with a red-and-pink border sits cross-legged and speaks into a black handheld microphone, with a visible ID badge on her chest and a small bindi and vibhuti on her forehead. Behind her, several people in saffron and orange and maroon robes sit in a row, wearing gold and beaded necklaces and rudraksha-style malas, with white sandalwood marks on their foreheads. A brass figure is in the lower left foreground, and the background shows ornate gold and red decoration. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible among the seated group.2017-08-26
