A stage event with several saffron-robed sadhus seated in white cushioned chairs on a red-draped platform. On the far right, a bearded man with long swept-back hair and a dark rudraksha mala sits on an ornate brown throne-like chair, dressed in orange robes; he has distinctive long hair and rudraksha cues, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), seated in the place of honour. Seated beside him are other orange-clad men, some wearing garlands and one with an orange turban. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in white with a lanyard and several seated devotees in front. A digital clock and framed pictures decorate the wall behind.2015-10-18April 16 20182018-04-16 +3 copiesApril 16 20182018-04-16 +3 copiesA seated assembly of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees in a hall with white-covered chairs and a red-carpeted dais. On the far right, a man with long swept-back grey hair, a forehead tilak, a saffron robe, a flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala sits in a carved wooden throne with a red-brown cushion, hands folded. Several elderly sadhus in orange and one in yellow sit beside him, some wearing marigold garlands. In the foreground, a devotee in white and a woman in green sit in front. A framed traditional painting and a digital clock hang on the wall behind them.

Around him a crowd of roughly sixty seated devotees in white and orange garments sits on the floor facing the throne. Some wear orange saris and white dhotis, and several are shirtless. A silver trident stands to the right and a decorated silver figure is behind the throne. A wall screen shows a close-up of a bearded man in red. Hanging orange and colourful ceremonial banners decorate the ceiling and a camera on a tripod is at the right edge.2018-05-21 +1 copiesA large hall filled with seated devotees during a satsang session.

Foreground children in orange robes sit cross-legged, and a young man with white-painted skin and beaded necklaces sits at right. Women in white, pink and green saris and a few people in white clothing sit among them. Behind, a golden arch and deity murti figures stand against the wall, and staff move between chairs at the back. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the swami from appearance, so no a person candidate is claimed.2017-10-19A large hall filled with seated devotees on the floor, most wearing saffron-orange dhotis or shawls, many with rudraksha malas around their necks. Some wear white ritual clothes at the back. Rows of seated people face a distant stage area at the far end of the room under bright ceiling lights. Wall paintings and framed images hang on the walls. Many men are bare-chested, and several children sit among the adults. The crowd is dense and the scene reads as a large satsang or discourse gathering.2017-07-09May 21 20182018-05-21
