Photograph of a crowded indoor hall with orange-painted walls, a corrugated metal roof and decorative patterned pillars. At centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe and a flower garland and extends his hand toward an older man in white who has his palms pressed together in greeting. Around them, many devotees stand close, including a bald man in white with an orange shawl, a man in a red shirt, and men in yellow-white clothes on the right. A tall railing and a few plastic chairs are visible, and an open doorway shows greenery outside. Several people in the back crowd look toward the centre. Whether the saffron-robed central figure is the a person cannot be established from appearance alone.

Photograph inside an orange-walled hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses, showing a central red carpet leading toward a doorway. A figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange shawl over an orange garment, with a floral garland around the neck, and is greeting and receiving the hands of people along the aisle. Several devotees stand on both sides, some with palms pressed together in anjali, including a bald man in white and an elderly woman in a green sari. A bald man in a yellow shawl and an older bearded man in white stand nearby. Orange and blue patterned pillars and framed panels decorate the walls. The appearance is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) wearing saffron-orange clothing and long swept-back hair, and the figure is physically present at the head of the line.2010-08-14January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJuly 21 20102010-07-21September 01 20102010-09-01December 12 20092009-12-12Indoor photo of a long hall with a corrugated metal roof and white walls, with a queue of devotees standing on woven mats.
