At the centre, a seated figure in orange robes and a white flower garland sits on a red-and-gold throne beneath a yellow fringed parasol. Flanking the throne are golden lion-like vahana figures and a garlanded deity murti on a gold stand with marigold garlands. Men and women in white dhotis and white saris sit on a red floor covering, several holding microphones or papers. A row of seated devotees in white clothes fills the foreground, some with shaved heads, and a saffron-clad monk sits among them. A hanging orange and red banner hangs from the ceiling.2010-11-13September 20 20152015-09-20A photograph of a seated audience facing a raised golden throne (peetha) in a red-walled hall lit warmly. On the throne sits a man in a red-orange turban, with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, dressed in red-orange garments; a golden trident (trishul) stands behind him beside a painted deity image. Ornate golden pillars and a gilded canopy frame the throne. Devotees sit on the floor in the foreground, backs to the camera: a figure in orange robes, women in white, pink and yellow saris, and men in white with red-brown shawls. Other people are visible behind them. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, saffron-red clothing, rudraksha and gold necklace cues.2015-10-26November 15 20102010-11-15A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a dark blue draped backdrop. A central figure sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with a golden canopy umbrella, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a red-orange beaded mala and a crown-like headpiece, with fresh garlands of yellow and orange flowers draped over the throne. Flanking the throne stand golden ceremonial staffs and decorative finials. On the left, a deity murti with garlands sits on a gilded pedestal. On the right, a decorated figure with flower garlands sits on a golden lion-throne. Around the orange-carpeted platform, about a dozen devotees sit on the floor in white and green saris and white dhotis, some with hands folded, facing the stage. Brass trays of offerings with flowers and lamps sit on the floor in front, and a reflective glossy stage edge runs along the bottom.2010-10-18 +4 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26November 13 20102010-11-13November 18 20102010-11-18 +1 copiesA stage set for a ritual satsang with a central golden throne draped in red cushions, where a figure in saffron-orange robes sits beneath a yellow umbrella.
