A man seated cross-legged on a white-draped platform in a dim hall, wearing an orange-saffron garment and holding a white microphone up to his mouth as he speaks. A brass oil lamp with a tall stem and a small brass urn sit beside him, and a large banner on the right lists Nithya Surya Namaskar mantras with numbered repetitions and Sanskrit-style chants, illustrated by a silhouette of a figure in a pose. A white-draped chair and a framed picture are visible at the left edge. The image is a photograph of a discourse or teaching session.2008-01-13January 13 20082008-01-13A yoga teacher training session in a hall with a stage. A woman in orange robes sits cross-legged on a raised platform behind a white-draped table holding a brass lamp and a framed deity image garlanded with flowers. Students sit on red and yellow mats on the floor in front, some in white and orange clothing, one with long dark hair in a white outfit. A white easel displays a pink lotus logo reading nithya yoga.

Hanging colourful patterned banners frame the stage.2008-01-13A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with long swept-back hair sits on a white-draped platform in front of a microphone stand, one hand raised to his chin as he speaks. Behind him hang an orange-and-yellow cloth, a row of terracotta kalasha pots, a framed picture with a garland, and brass lamps and a brass vessel on the platform. In the foreground, a group of women in white garments, seen from behind with their long braids visible, face him attentively. A water bottle sits on a side table. The setting appears to be a session or satsang.

In front, devotees in white clothes with orange shawls kneel around a long white cloth spread with folded blue-patterned mats, reaching toward it in a ritual gesture. A cameraman in white with an orange shawl stands behind the throne, and a seated audience in white and orange fills the background beneath a decorated tent with colourful hanging textiles. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and orange ornate clothing, a probable match for Swamiji in a throne-seated role.2007-02-24Two men in saffron-orange robes sit on a white-cushioned stage in front of a framed portrait garlanded with flowers, with a brass oil lamp and kalasha pots lining the wall. The man at right, with a full grey-streaked beard and round glasses, wears a beaded necklace and holds a handheld microphone, gesturing as he speaks. The man at left in orange robes listens and gestures. A red cushion rests on the sofa beside them, and water bottles sit on a table. Several seated audience members in light clothing are visible in the foreground, their backs and heads toward the camera. The portrait shows a man in orange robes with a garland and an ornate necklace, and a caption-style text is not legible in the image.2008-06-22February 24 20072007-02-24A hall with a red and yellow mat floor where seated participants face a raised white platform at the left. A man in orange robes sits on the platform holding a microphone, with an ornate deity picture and brass oil lamps beside him. Several participants in yellow and white sit on yellow mats, some in orange shawls, one woman in white and another in a yellow top close to the front. A vertical banner with printed text and a figure stands behind the platform, and colourful woven pillars frame the hall. The seated man in orange is not clearly identifiable from appearance, so he is described by role only.2008-01-13A seated speaker in orange robes, long dark hair falling past the shoulders, talks into a microphone from a patterned cushioned seat on a low stage. Behind her hangs a white cloth with red stripes and a gold-fringed red and white banner, and a silver trident leans against the backdrop. Men in white and orange sit cross-legged on a green mat to her left, and a row of listeners in orange and white clothing fills the foreground. A floor lamp glows at left. a person appearance is not clearly established from the visible cues, so the speaker is described by role and the candidate is left uncertain.2006-06-04June 04 20062006-06-04A seated teacher in an orange saffron robe speaks into a microphone on a stage with dark draped curtains. Behind him is a framed picture of a deity with a yellow-and-orange garland, flanked by two brass lamps and potted palms. A banner reads Nithya Yoga with a lotus, and a second banner lists Nithya Surya Namaskar steps. Several women sit on the floor in white and yellow clothing, facing the stage, with a video camera in the foreground. The teacher has a shaved or closely cropped head and wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace, so the a person appearance is only a probable match.2008-01-13
