October 15 20172017-10-15A large audience fills a wood-panelled hall, seen from behind, seated on floor cushions facing a raised wooden throne-style chair. On the chair sits a figure with long dark hair, bare-chested with an orange-saffron shawl draped across the body and adornments, holding a tall silver trident beside the seat. A man in a grey shirt stands at left holding a microphone and speaking to the room. Devotees in white, saffron, purple and green clothing sit in rows, many wearing garlands, and some people stand along the back wall. Probable Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo, seated on the throne holding a trident, with the saffron shawl and long hair as visible cues. The scene resembles a question-and-answer session.2015-12-15August 08 20172017-08-08A large seated audience at a workshop hall, most participants wearing red or white blindfolds tied over their eyes while sitting on red floor cushions. Many wear white kurtas, orange or saffron garments, and rudraksha malas, with name badges on lanyards. In the centre a man in white dhoti and a red blindfold raises his arm, and at the front a man in a red kurta and another in a striped shirt sit with their eyes covered. A watermarked photograph credits a person and KAILASA archives on the image, which is omitted from this description.2016-07-31A group of devotees in a warmly lit hall with brick walls and a red-painted wall stands and kneels with arms raised overhead, palms open, in an ecstatic group practice. Many wear orange and saffron shawls and scarves over white, yellow and striped clothing. In the foreground right, a figure in a saffron-orange turban and orange robes with gold-coloured trim sits on a white cushioned seat with a patterned cloth, hands lifted in the same gesture; the figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but the identification is uncertain. Potted plants and a small wall lamp are visible at the edges.2011-07-29August 26 20142014-08-26July 29 20112011-07-29October 03 20172017-10-03A courtyard session in an ashram. A bearded man with a bare chest and an orange-brown cloth draped over his body sits on a silver-carved seat with red cushions, holding a microphone and smiling. Around him sit about a dozen young people in orange and saffron robes, several with long dreadlocked hair and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, listening attentively. Behind the seat hangs a bronze Nataraja dancing Shiva image within a circular frame, and a brass trident-shaped stand and a hanging bell frame the scene. A red-painted wall and potted plants complete the setting.2017-02-17July 29 20112011-07-29A large seated gathering of devotees in an indoor hall during a discourse session. In the foreground, a young man on the left wears an orange saffron robe with rudraksha beads and a forehead marking, sitting cross-legged on an orange cloth. Beside him, a man with long hair and tattooed arms wears an orange robe and rudraksha mala. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shawls and a man in a white shirt with a lanyard sit among rows of women in orange and white saris. Many people are seated attentively facing forward.2017-10-15July 06 20152015-07-06
