A microphone stand stands before him and a small paper sheet rests on the armrest. In front of the throne, a second person in orange robes lies prostrate with forehead to the floor, hands folded, on a blue mat beside a small gold cushion. Behind them hang dark red velvet curtains, and a projection screen and a staircase railing are visible at left. The seated man is an appearance-based a person candidate: long swept-back dark hair, saffron robes and a garland, seated on a throne while being honoured. The prostrate devotee is in orange.2010-01-31A seated figure in a saffron-orange shawl and orange garment sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, hands folded in the lap, eyes lowered, barefoot on a white cloth-covered stage. Behind the throne hangs deep blue draped curtain. Two tall brass oil lamps with lit flames stand on either side. Around the stage, a man in white clothes with a red waist sash bends backward in a dramatic stretch with arms reaching, while another white-clad man kneels with forehead to the floor. Women in orange garments sit to the right near a gold-decorated box. The seated figure's presentation is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in orange dress with long swept-back hair.2010-12-02A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits in lotus posture on a red leopard-print cushion atop a red throne with a circular backdrop. The figure wears a rudraksha mala with ornate gold-toned beads and raises one hand in blessing. Pink and green flower garlands hang from the throne. In front sits a gold-and-red offering box decorated with flowers. Two devotees in white dhotis kneel with palms joined in prayer on either side, one with a bare chest and a beaded necklace, the other bald and wearing rimmed glasses. A vase of pink and purple flowers stands on the left and red draped curtains fill the background. Given the page's Swamiji flag and the distinctive saffron robes, turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold beads, this seated figure is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) receiving darshan.2012-10-25A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned seat and white pillows, set on a raised wooden stage before deep blue draped curtains. The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair and bare feet resting on a carved golden footstool. Four younger attendees sit on the stage floor facing the throne: one at left with palms pressed together in namaskar, others seated in white clothing with orange shawls. A brass hanging lamp with crystal drops and a small brass lamp stand are visible at the left. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and throne seating. The attendees are a devotee and sannyasis in white and orange.2006-12-10A photograph of a satsang on a stage before dark blue drapes.

The figure wears a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace and raises one hand in blessing. Two people in white ritual clothing prostrate themselves at the base of the throne, and a woman in an orange sari stands to the right with her hands folded in respectful greeting. The background shows a painted temple architecture backdrop with dark blue curtains framing the stage. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne with distinctive saffron turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace cues.2010-11-05A photograph of a satsang stage with orange draped floor cloths and a gold-carved ornate throne at left. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels at left, offering a brass plate of green leaves with his hands outstretched.

A framed portrait above him shows a seated figure in orange robes with a mala. A microphone stand stands at right and a water bottle sits on a side table. A small brass vessel rests on the floor. Two people are physically present.2010-11-12December 15 20092009-12-15
