February 12 20172017-02-12Four people in saffron-orange sannyasi robes sit on ornate gold-carved thrones on a striped multicoloured mat in a hall with a wall-mounted air conditioner and red curtains. The leftmost man speaks into a handheld microphone, with dark hair wrapped in a turban-style bun and a rudraksha mala. The other three wear beaded necklaces and garlands, and the seated figures have white and red tilaka markings. A golden lion figure stands in the foreground, a gold-tipped staff rises on the right, and striped kalasha-style banners hang behind the thrones. The clothing and throne setting suggest a formal satsang. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone.2017-02-12 +1 copiesPhoto 11710172October 07 20132013-10-07A stage event with a deity murti seated on a gilded throne at the left, decorated with green foliage.

A large ornate gold throne sits at right, occupied by a seated person wearing orange robes, a crown-like orange turban, and layered rudraksha malas; this figure's appearance is uncertain, so the role is given as a seated figure on the throne. Four people in orange robes sit on smaller gold-and-red thrones in a row at left-centre, each with beads, and a woman in a purple and multicolour sari sits at the far right edge. Between them stand a gold cow statue, a trident, and a decorated kalasha-like pillar. A gold deity figure is set in the upper right, and a golden decorative arch frames the main throne. The stage is covered with a colourful patterned rug.2017-02-02January 23 20172017-01-23
