A seated figure in an orange saffron garment with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red cushion and a small footstool, bare feet resting on the step. Behind him a large printed backdrop shows a figure in orange with rudraksha malas. A shaved-headed man in white robes kneels on the floor at lower centre, holding a long staff upright, and several women in white saris sit on the floor at right. A standing attendant in white with an orange shawl is at far right. Gold kalasha-style ornaments, marigold and multicoloured garlands hang from the stage, and brass lamps and fruit or flower offerings lie in the foreground.2007-02-24November 05 20102010-11-05November 05 20102010-11-05A photograph of a ceremonial stage set before a painted temple backdrop with carved pillars. A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of marigold and red flowers, a gold umbrella above and gold trident standards beside. A man in white dhoti and shirt kneels at the foot of the throne, touching its base. Standing to the left are men in white dhotis and shawls, and to the right women in white saris with red or yellow borders and orange shawls. The people are: seated figure, kneeling man, and about a dozen standing attendants and devotees.2010-11-05November 05 20102010-11-05A seated man in white ritual clothing with a red and white beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy and orange cushions, on an orange-carpeted stage. Two shaved-headed men in white dhotis and a woman in white sari sit on the floor before the throne, with brass oil lamps and flower offerings at its base. Orange drapes, a black backdrop with white ribbon decorations, and flower garlands frame the stage, with brass lamp stands and ceremonial flags at the sides. The seated figure appears to be a Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, a rudraksha-style necklace and the throne setting, while the others are devotees seated in a satsang setting.2011-02-12A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) under a gold canopy, garlanded with multicoloured flower garlands. The central figure wears an orange-saffron robe, an orange turban, and a rudraksha mala, and makes a raised blessing gesture. Around the throne, several people in white dhotis and white saris stand or kneel; one kneeling man in white attends the throne base, and a woman in a red-bordered sari kneels at the front. Gold ceremonial fans and staffs stand on either side, with a temple-arch backdrop and a red carpet beneath. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are the distinguishing cues on the seated central figure, shown in a throne-and-darshan setting.2010-11-05A stage ceremony in a hall with deep maroon drapes and red carpet.

A bald priest in orange robes and an orange-clad attendant stand at left, and a brass lamp stands in the foreground.
