A photograph inside a large hall with a tall white-and-silver waterfall-like sheet hanging behind a raised stage. A seated figure in a red-and-white garland sits on a red ornate throne at the centre, flanked by two attendants in white and red clothing and golden kalasha-style vessels. The audience below, mostly in white clothes with red-orange shawls, sits facing the stage. Red curtains frame the sides and a painted portrait hangs on the right wall. Stage lights hang from a truss overhead. A photo caption label reads style credit on the right edge2012-12-22December 13 20122012-12-13Photograph of a satsang hall where a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold crown sits on a red and gold throne backed by a gold arch, flanked by two golden lion statues. Above him a large banner shows a smiling man in orange robes beside a temple scene. Several people in white clothes sit before the dais, some with folded hands; a bald man in orange robes sits at left and a woman in a sari with a white garland sits at right. A large audience in white and colourful clothes fills the foreground, and a video camera on a tripod stands at left.2013-12-13A photograph of a satsang hall where a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy, centre stage before a large backdrop printed with a temple shrine. Beside the dais, a figure in saffron robes sits at a microphone. Oil lamps stand on either side of the throne, and a row of seated devotees in white clothes faces the stage across a reflective dark floor. Orange and white banners with geometric patterns hang from the ceiling. Several cameras on tripods film the scene, and screens sit on the dais. The seated audience numbers roughly several dozen people.2011-01-29September 10 20172017-09-10 +1 copiesPhotograph of an indoor satsang hall during a puja. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned back, centred before a large backdrop of a temple gopuram with deity murtis. Two attendants in white dhotis and saffron-trimmed shawls sit beside the throne, one holding a ritual item. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides of the stage. Dozens of devotees in white and cream saris and dhotis sit cross-legged on the floor facing the stage, while camera equipment and monitors are set up at the front left. Curtains in maroon and navy frame the stage and a projection screen hangs at the right.2011-02-25 +1 copiesA large indoor hall with a navy blue curtained stage and white and gold drapes above. A figure in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace sits on a gold ornate throne with red cushions, flanked by green foliage arrangements. Several women in white and yellow saris sit on the stage steps beside the throne. A man in white dhoti and shawl sits on the lower stage near a microphone, while another man in white stands at the left edge beside camera equipment. A large audience of women and some men in white and pastel clothing sits cross-legged on the floor facing the stage. A whiteboard stands at the right edge. The scene resembles a satsang talk, with the central seated figure matching the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of orange robes, long dark hair and a crown-like throne setting, so identity is only an appearance-based label.2010-12-02A large indoor hall with a crowd of attendees seated on the floor facing a raised stage. Most people in the foreground wear white clothing and carry backpacks; many have their backs to the camera. On the stage, a seated figure sits on a red-backed throne flanked by two golden lion-like statues, with a cascade of shimmering curtain behind. The figure wears orange-brown ceremonial clothing and a beaded necklace, with a camera on a tripod and speakers at the sides. Orange drapes and potted plants frame the scene.2012-12-09A seated figure in an ornate gilded throne sits at the centre of a stage draped in deep red curtains, wearing an orange-brown robe, a saffron turban-like head covering and a white flower garland. Above the throne, a golden tree-shaped canopy frames a painted deity figure holding a trident. Around the stage, roughly thirty devotees sit cross-legged on red carpet, many in saffron, orange and white garments, some holding brass plates with lamps and offerings, others with hands folded.2016-10-12Indoor satsang hall with a raised stage set with a gold-and-white throne and gilded lion-form armrests. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on the throne at centre, with a deity murti and framed garlanded portraits flanking him, and gold-framed garlands above. Dozens of devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in white and cream saris and dhotis, some in green and purple, facing the stage. Camera tripods, a rear projection screen and a kalasha-like gold canopy complete the scene. The seated figure in saffron robes could be a person, given the saffron clothing and central throne placement, though the face is too small to confirm.2010-11-12August 08 20172017-08-08May 02 20142014-05-02
