The Multimedia Archive is a continuously growing collection of photographs, audio and video recordings documenting the existence of the ascetics in Juna Akhara. Both non-ascetics – including Desi (Indian) and Videshi (foreign) media makers – and the ascetics themselves have been contributing to the archive since 2001. Additionally, older photographs (scanned and retouched) have recently begun to be added to the collection as well.
Typical items found in the archive:
- Portraits
- Music
- Discourses
- Interviews
- Event coverage
- Chela/Cheli (disciple) making rituals
- Sanskar (initiation)
- Becoming Mahant, Shri Mahant, Mandaleshwar, etc.
- Kumbh Mela Sahi Snaans
- Samadhi / Solsi
- Guru Purnima
- Other various jalpan / bhandara feasts
