A photograph of a stage event with a man seated on an ornate gold throne beneath a gold parasol. He wears an orange robe and a red-orange beaded mala, with long dark hair, and sits with hands resting in his lap. Before him, a line of devotees sits on the orange-draped stage floor; several women wear white saris with yellow or green borders and a woman in a green blouse sits near a laptop. A small girl in orange sits at left beside a golden throne holding a deity murti garlanded with marigolds. Gold trident-tipped staffs and gold kalasha finials flank the throne, and a golden lion-form stand with garlands appears at right. Behind, a navy curtain hangs, and the audience's backs are visible at the bottom edge.

The seated man wears orange robes and a white garland with long dark hair; a probable Swamiji (based on the saffron robe, long hair and ornate garland cues). He sits before gold and red floral-garlanded deity murti and a gold lion-mount statue. Around him sit devotees in white dhotis and white shirts, some in saffron, plus women in white and green saris seated cross-legged on a mat. In the foreground, bald sannyasis in white and saffron sit facing the stage. A large backdrop shows a temple gopuram and a forest scene, and a saffron cloth hangs at the upper left.2010-11-13November 05 20102010-11-05A photograph of a satsang on a raised orange-carpeted stage before a dark blue curtain. A figure with long dark hair, a red forehead mark, an orange saffron garment and a gold necklace sits on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, with a small table and microphone nearby. Before him, a group sits on the floor: a man in an orange garment with a gold necklace in the lower left foreground, a bald man in orange, women in white and grey saris, a woman in a yellow top, a man in a white kurta with white dhoti, and several children in white. Oil lamps and a small offering stand near the throne. The figure on the throne shows appearance cues consistent with the candidate, so this is a person presence at a satsang.2011-01-23
