Saffron, orange, white and purple flags hang from bamboo poles, and a yellow canopy shelters the area. A red and black patterned cloth is spread on the left. A small poster of a man hangs on a pole at top. Two or three people in orange clothing sit far left under the canopy, mostly out of focus.2013-02-07A seated man in a red-and-maroon robe sits on a small ornate seat within a garlanded swing structure hung with white flower strands, in front of a red velvet throne backed by a gold and bronze carved panel. He wears a dark head covering, a large orange-white flower garland, and a gold pendant necklace, with hands resting in his lap. Flanking him are tall gilt lamp stands, golden trident-like staffs, a tiger-striped cushion, and a carved figure at the right. The raised pink-carpeted dais suggests a ceremonial abhishekam or padapuja setting.2016-05-24A seated man in a red-orange robe sits on an ornate golden throne with a tiger-striped cushion under a canopy of white flower garlands hanging from a gilded pole. He wears a long gold-and-white garland, a gold chest ornament, bangles, and a dark turban-style headwrap. A small gold footstool with a red cushion stands in front of the throne, and offerings wrapped in orange cloth lie on the red floor.

He wears a red-brown robe, a dark head covering, and a long strand of white or pale flower garlands with a gold pendant; he sits on a red cushion before an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a tiger-striped cloth draped over it. A white flower-garlanded swing frame stands beside him. Gleaming brass and copper lamp stands, a trident, and carved lion-head pillars flank the stage, with a standing deity figure at left. Two candidates for the seated figure are not verifiable from appearance alone. The seated man has distinctive ceremonial cues but is partly obscured; he is described as a seated devotee on a throne.2016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24A seated man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead sits eyes closed on an ornate silver throne with a red cushioned seat and carved elephant motifs, under a silver canopy draped with red and white flower garlands. He wears an orange-red ochre robe, multiple rudraksha malas, and beaded arm bands, with hands clasped in his lap. A leopard-print cushion rests at his feet. Gold-embossed panels decorate the background, with silver trishula staffs and a trident-topped finial at the sides and a kalasha-like finial on the right. Persons: one seated figure in saffron robes, a partially visible attendant in orange at left. Setting appears to be a temple-like hall. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ochre robes while seated on the throne.2018-05-22Outdoor satsang scene under a large tree.
