In the foreground, several men in saffron-orange robes sit on orange mats, holding small brass lamps and bells, with brass puja plates, a small brass kalasha and flower offerings arranged before them. Behind them, rows of men in white dhotis and white shawls with red borders hold brass lamps and sit on mats. A tripod-mounted camera and a television screen appear at the upper left. One saffron-clad man at center wears rudraksha malas and a distinctive ritual setting; the page does not establish his identity, so no candidate is confirmed from appearance. Several men have vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. The scene suggests an aarti or lamp-offering ceremony during a satsang.2010-11-15November 14 20102010-11-14December 12 20112011-12-12October 03 20082008-10-03A ceremonial stage scene at an indoor hall with a dark blue curtain backdrop.

Below, many people sit on the floor in white clothes holding lit oil lamps (diyas) in front of them, creating a warm flickering glow. A small electric fan and a monitor sit at the right edge, and wisps of incense smoke rise near the stage. The setting suggests a pada puja or similar devotional gathering.2011-01-21July 25 20172017-07-25 +1 copiesA group of young boys and adult men in orange and saffron robes sit cross-legged on a polished white floor in a hall, many with white forehead bands and tripundra-style white markings and rudraksha malas.
