Outdoor scene at an ashram courtyard before an orange-walled hall bearing a sign reading Sri Anandeshwara Devasthana. Three women sit cross-legged on circular patterns of white ash or powder on the bare ground in front, wearing white saris with orange borders. Behind them a large crowd of about dozens of people, mostly women in white, cream and colourful saris, sits on mats in rows facing them. A banner reads Welcomes you all for Navaratri and Life Bliss Program, and a smaller board lists a schedule. Palm trees and a thatched roof stand nearby, and a small statue stands at the left of the hall. Some people in white walk in the background.

Outdoor ritual scene in front of an orange-walled hall with the sign "SRI ANANDESHWARA TEMPLE" above its entrance. Several seated participants sit cross-legged on mats around circular fire pits with glowing embers and smoke, performing a homa-style fire ritual. Most wear white or cream clothes with yellow or orange shawls. One figure near the centre wears an orange robe and sits on a raised mat, distinctive for the orange sannyasi attire but without clear identifying cues, so his identity is uncertain. A black Nandi bull statue sits beside a white pedestal, and palm trees stand in the background. Banners with a portrait of a saffron-robed figure hang on the orange wall.2010-08-04Outdoor ritual scene in front of a red-brick temple labelled Sri Anandeshwara Temple, with a banner showing a saffron-clad figure reading Life Bliss Program.
