Outdoor satsang on an open grassy field with a large crowd seated on yellow cloth in front of a raised stage. A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and gold armlet, sits on a red-cushioned gilded throne at left, holding a microphone, with a parrot perched on the armrest beside them.

A person in orange robes and gold armbands sits on a gold-carved red throne at right, holding a microphone and speaking. A rudraksha-style lamp of fruit, apples and garland sits on a white table before the throne. Rows of seated devotees in white clothes fill the lawn, a cameraman stands near a speaker, and palm trees and a small building appear behind a white fence. The orange-robed figure has long swept-back hair and gold necklaces, consistent with the a person candidate cues, but identity is uncertain from appearance.2011-12-08December 08 20112011-12-08December 08 20112011-12-08January 01 20082008-01-01December 08 20112011-12-08Outdoor event under a red and white striped tent with a patterned fabric canopy and a green mat floor.

A figure with long dark hair in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, speaking into a handheld microphone. Two seated devotees in orange clothing sit nearby, and a deity mural with painted gods stands behind the stage. Red-and-white striped poles, a speaker, a parked white SUV and a videographer on a tripod complete the scene. The figure matches the throne-seated teacher's cues (long hair, orange robes, ornate necklace), so the candidate is labelled probable.2011-12-08
