A large indoor session in a warmly lit hall with framed photographs on the walls behind. A person with long dark hair sits smiling on a brown leather throne-style chair, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulders and a long beaded necklace. Around the chair, many participants in white clothes and orange shawls sit closely packed, each with both hands pressed to the top of their heads in a meditative posture. A camera on a tripod stands at the upper right and an orange floral decoration hangs from the ceiling. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identifiable by the saffron robe, long hair and beaded necklace, presiding over the group.2015-07-15December 27 20142014-12-27May 27 20152015-05-27December 14 20142014-12-14A large indoor hall with warm yellow lighting and a golden tree decoration above. A man in an orange-saffron robe and a long beaded necklace of rudraksha-style beads sits on a brown leather throne-like armchair at the centre. Around him a dense crowd of devotees, mostly in white and orange clothing, kneel or sit with their arms raised and hands pressed together over their heads, many touching the head of the person in front. Some wear red and white garments and gold bangles. Display panels and red chairs line the background, and a yellow-draped table sits at the right. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and ornate saffron attire and is described as a person in the central position, with devotees performing a collective blessing gesture.2015-07-16A photograph of a satsang session in a wood-panelled hall. A woman with long dark hair sits on an ornate wooden throne with bright orange cushions, wearing a rust-red robe, a rudraksha mala with a gold ornament, and holding a tall black staff with a gold tip. A small microphone is at her face. Around her, seated devotees in white and red-orange clothing raise their hands to their heads in a group movement, and a projection screen glows behind. The claim that this is a person is a page claim only; appearance alone does not establish identity. Many people are visible, including partially seen figures in the foreground.2014-12-27A seated man in a rust-red robe and a long rudraksha mala sits smiling on an orange cushioned throne with a golden trim, holding a long wooden staff.

In the foreground, a man with long dark hair, a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a vibhuti mark on his forehead sits on an ornate orange-cushioned throne, smiling, with a silver trident beside him. Around him, many devotees in white and saffron/orange clothes sit with both hands resting on their heads in a group posture, with wrists and arms crossing overhead. Most faces are partially hidden by the raised arms. Several people wear beaded necklaces and gold-coloured bangles. The scene suggests a group practice led from the throne. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, so appearance is a probable match to a person but cues are not fully certain from this view.2014-12-28May 27 20152015-05-27July 16 20152015-07-16
