A seated man in a gold-and-red ornate throne wears a rust-orange shawl, a long gold bead necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and a long swept-back hairstyle with a tilak on his forehead. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste before a white-and-yellow cloth-wrapped bundle on a plate of pink and purple flower petals. A shirtless attendant with white body markings and a rudraksha mala leans forward to offer the plate. Behind them a gold-carved pillar and red draped cloth complete the satsang stage setting. Two people are visible.2016-06-30A photograph of a ceremony in a gold-hung shrine room. A smiling man with long dreadlocked hair, a dark red-brown cloth and a large multi-coloured garland of yellow, white, red and green flowers sits on a red cushioned seat. A priest in white dhoti with a gold border and orange shawl leans forward and offers him an item with both hands. Behind them stand other attendants, one wearing a rudraksha mala, and a large floral garland hangs on the wall with green leaves and a gold trident-shaped ornament at the left. The seated man has distinctive dreadlocked hair and garlands, but the appearance is not clear enough for a confident identification.2016-07-19A seated man in a red-maroon robe with a red-and-white flower garland and gold necklaces sits on a red and gold throne, adorned with gold armlets and bangles, with a white tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. He holds and arranges a strand of red and white flowers on a golden staff. Beside him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a garland offers a silver tray of fruit, including oranges, apples and a mango. Gold-coloured hangings and a white fan appear in the background. Appearance cues with distinctive adornments and a throne suggest a person presence, but the seated figure's identity is not established by face and is listed as unsure.2016-07-02May 25 20162016-05-25July 02 20162016-07-02A seated man in a maroon-red robe and matching red-brown turban sits on an ornate golden throne with a large fan-shaped back and red cushions. He wears a long garland of lavender and white flowers, a gold necklace and a large gold pendant, and his eyes are closed in a calm, meditative expression. Beside him, a shirtless devotee in a white dhoti with a white cloth tied at the head bends forward while another man in a white dhoti and sacred thread stands behind, one hand on the devotee's back, apparently performing a blessing or padapuja-style ritual. Behind them hang gold and maroon silk drapes and a tall brass lamp stands at right.2017-07-08Seated on a red-and-cream cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold backdrop, a smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a dark rudraksha mala with a gold necklace receives a white and red flower garland. A shirtless man in a purple and gold dhoti with a white shawl stands at left, holding the garland up and offering it. Red velvet curtains hang behind, with a microphone at right. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated and being garlanded as the honoured speaker.2015-11-22A seated man in an orange-red turban, orange robes, a red and white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces and gold armlets receives a small object wrapped in purple cloth from a bare-chested man in white and yellow-bordered dhoti. Behind them is a wall of marigolds and red, white and orange flowers. The seated figure has distinctive orange robes, a turban and ceremonial gold necklaces, so a person match is noted, with the receiving figure described as a seated priest in orange. The scene resembles a ritual exchange of an offering during a session.2015-07-13A seated man in a brown-orange robe sits on an ornate gold-trimmed brown leather throne, wearing a multi-strand garland of red, orange and yellow flowers and a chain of gold ornaments with a rudraksha mala. He has a white vertical tilak and red bindi and looks down while extending his right arm. A bearded man in a red-and-pink garment with a red beaded necklace and white body markings holds a silver plate toward his wrist, performing a ritual. Behind them a standing man in white dhoti with a gold border and a dark rudraksha necklace watches. A red cloth bundle decorated with petals sits on the left of the throne against a dark maroon backdrop.2015-09-19September 09 20162016-09-09July 18 20162016-07-18July 19 20162016-07-19
