A large audience of seated devotees, mostly viewed from behind, fills a covered hall facing a stage. On a white and gold throne sits a figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with rudraksha beads, gesturing while speaking into a microphone. The backdrop is a pink patterned banner with a printed title. Potted palms, bird-of-paradise flowers and yellow marigold garlands decorate the stage edges, and a camera on a tripod is at the right.

A seated speaker in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold-and-cream throne on a raised red-carpeted stage, holding a microphone. Behind him hangs a large pink-toned banner with a printed event title, flanked by potted palms, orange heliconia-style flowers and yellow marigold garlands along the stage edge. A tripod-mounted camera stands at the right side of the stage. Rows of seated audience members in white, cream and pastel clothing face the stage from the foreground under a tented ceiling with stage lights. The swamiji candidate's appearance is consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a saffron turban and orange robes with a microphone, presiding over a satsang-style discourse.2010-02-04February 04 20102010-02-04February 04 20102010-02-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a large indoor convention hall with a central stage. A seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits in an ornate cream-and-gold throne chair, gesturing with raised hands while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind the stage hangs a pink draped backdrop with a framed portrait and a banner reading Nithyananda Spurana Program. Potted palms, flowering plants and yellow marigold garlands decorate the platform edge. Rows of seated audience members in white and light clothing fill the foreground, and a video camera on a tripod stands at the right. Overhead hang stage lights and a woven thatched roof. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker wears an orange turban, orange robes, and rudraksha beads, with long hair visible at the shoulders.2010-02-04December 02 20102010-12-02Photograph of a satsang hall where a seated teacher in orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions on a raised stage, speaking to a large audience. Rows of devotees sit cross-legged on red and patterned mats, mostly in white clothing, several with shaved heads. Hanging banners with orange tassels and multicolour patterns frame the stage, and a pedestal fan, tripod cameras and monitors stand near the platform. The teacher's appearance (long hair, orange robe, gold throne) matches the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji in person giving a discourse. Visible crowd appears to be roughly 20 to 30 people.2011-01-21A seated audience in white dhotis and white clothing fills the foreground, many sitting cross-legged on the floor facing a stage. On a raised golden throne with red cushioning sits a figure in saffron-orange robes, appearing to give a talk. Behind the throne hangs a large backdrop showing a deity murti group in a decorated temple arch with gold and red tones. Orange and white ceremonial banners with geometric patterns hang from the top, and a small whiteboard stands at the right beside a microphone stand and speakers. A few people in saffron or white sit near the stage edge. The setting is an indoor hall, consistent with a satsang.2010-11-30February 06 20102010-02-06February 05 20102010-02-05A wide photograph of a large hall where a seated figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a canopy, in front of a backdrop of a painted temple gateway. Below the stage, a robed man in orange sits at a microphone on the left, and a crowd of seated devotees in white clothes faces the stage on a polished dark floor. Multiple tripod-mounted cameras and monitors stand near the stage. Hanging banners with geometric patterns in red, blue and orange with orange fringes decorate the upper corners. Oil lamps flank the stage.

Below the stage a man in orange robes sits cross-legged at a microphone at left, lamps stand on either side of the throne, and video cameras on tripods film the stage.

On a raised stage, a figure in orange-red robes sits on an ornate gold-lit throne beneath a small canopy, with a microphone stand beside them. A crowd of seated people, mostly in white clothing, faces the stage, with a few in orange and blue. Video cameras on tripods and speakers flank the stage. The scene reads as a satsang or darshan programme. A clearly identifiable portrait of the central figure cannot be established from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role only.2016-04-17
