On a raised stage at the far end, a figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on a low seat beside a person in white, both facing the crowd. The figure has a shaved head and appearance that is consistent with a person, but this is not established clearly enough to confirm identity. Ceiling fans hang above, and decorative banners with elephant motifs and a gold garland line the ceiling and stage curtain. A tripod-mounted camera stands at the side. Several audience members are in colourful salwar and sarees, others in white shirts.2009-08-18December 30 20062006-12-30August 27 20092009-08-27A large tented hall with white plastic chairs filled by a seated audience, mostly men and women in white or light clothes, some in yellow or green saris, viewed from behind.

Hundreds of devotees dressed in white sit in rows of white plastic chairs and on the floor, facing a raised stage at the far end. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits on a white-draped seat with a garland, appearing to address the assembly; the figure's appearance is not clearly distinguishable at this resolution. Dark red drapery hangs behind the stage, with orange and yellow tassel decorations and a colourful patterned banner hanging from the ceiling tent frame. Small side tables display framed pictures near the stage. Lighting is dim, and a sound and camera rig is visible at the left edge.2006-12-30 +1 copiesAugust 27 20082008-08-27December 14 20092009-12-14A photograph of a large hall filled with seated devotees on orange cloth mats, many dressed in white, some in maroon, teal and pink.

Ceiling fans hang above, and yellow and multicoloured hanging banners decorate the space. Several attendees on the left wear white with ceremonial beads, and some sit on chairs. The scene reads as a satsang or discourse session.2010-02-10
