A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant and dark rudraksha mala sits on a red cushioned throne before ornate gold carvings.

Beside him stands a younger man, seen from behind, in a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a brown beaded bracelet and a dark rudraksha necklace. A golden trident stands at the left edge. The scene resembles a satsang discourse with a seated speaker and a standing attendant.2016-10-12A seated man in a large ornate gold throne with carved golden scrollwork sits on a red cushion, wearing saffron-orange robes, a heavy gold necklace, multiple gold chains, a rudraksha-style pendant, and red armbands. He has long dark hair swept back, a full beard, and a tilak on his forehead, and extends one hand forward. Beside him at left, a shirtless attendant in a white dhoti with purple border leans in and holds a small offering tray.

Green foliage decorates the stage, and a microphone stands at right.2017-03-15 +1 copiesA seated bearded man with long hair, wearing an orange-brown robe, rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklaces, smiles on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions.

A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears a saffron-orange robe, a white-and-red garland, beaded necklaces and bracelets, and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead; his long hair is swept back, and he closes his eyes while another man stands before him. The standing man, bare-chested with white body markings, wears a white dhoti with a striped border and a sacred thread, and holds a yellow-coloured item to the seated man's head. Nearby stands a tall gold trident and a brass oil lamp, and another attendant in white holds a plate. The scene suggests a Shiva deeksha initiation ritual. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, garlands and ornate gold throne, presiding over the initiation.2017-04-26February 28 20172017-02-28A seated bearded man in a red-brown saffron-toned robe, with long dark hair swept back, rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, gold necklaces and a gold earring, smiles broadly and raises his right palm toward a young shirtless boy standing before him, who raises his own palm in return. The man sits on an ornate white-and-red throne with a silver lion figure beside him. Behind them, a standing man in a white dhoti and multiple rudraksha malas stands near a colourful red-and-yellow backdrop. The appearance of the seated man with distinctive long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha malas and gold jewellery fits a person candidate seated on a throne, giving a high-five-style greeting to a child.2017-10-15October 01 20172017-10-01December 02 20162016-12-02A photo of a stage event set against a gilded backdrop with a painted deity image.

Seated beside him on a smaller gilded chair is an older bald man in an orange shawl and a patterned green-blue garment.
