A photograph inside a temple-style hall with orange walls and a corrugated roof. A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a large red rose garland and a rudraksha mala, and bends forward to hand small items to a young child in glasses; a pink and gold flower-decorated puja tray and fruit sit on a table at left. Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, identified as the central figure. Nearby, a man in a white dhoti holds an orange cloth and a brass offering plate, a bald man in white with orange shawl stands behind the rail, and a man at right in white kurta with a rudraksha mala presses his palms together in namaskar. Behind the railing devotees stand and a man in white folds his hands. Wall panels above show photographs of a meditating sannyasi and text about years of wandering and meditation.2010-08-26August 16 20102010-08-16July 21 20102010-07-21A photograph inside a covered hall with orange walls and striped poster panels.

In the centre, a young man wearing a large pink and white flower garland, a red bindi and an orange shawl over white clothing holds a white cloth bundle. A priest in white dhoti with a gold necklace and white tripundra marks stands beside a tray of fruit, apples and a small offering. On the right, a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands near a smiling woman in white. Devotees, women in saris and children crowd the background. A wall panel with text and photographs is visible behind them. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so the a person field is unsure.2010-08-21March 24 20082008-03-24A photograph inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and a stainless steel railing.

A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long red-and-orange flower garland with a rudraksha mala, extends his hand in blessing toward a line of women with palms pressed together. He is a person by a combination of long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and rudraksha mala, but the identification is appearance-based and uncertain. A bald man in an orange robe on the right holds a small tray with gold-coloured items and a yellow cloth while facing him. Women on the left wear yellow, white-and-blue, and red saris and stand at a metal railing. Framed photographs and colourful woven-patterned hangings decorate the walls behind them.2010-08-25September 03 20102010-09-03
