A figure in saffron-orange robes with a red head covering sits in a cream armchair on a raised platform, a small table with flowers beside him. Behind him hangs a green banner reading "Yoga Sutras" against dark drapery, with a large orange and yellow cloth hanging from the ceiling. Audience members seated on the floor in white clothes with yellow and orange shawls face the stage, many with shaved heads, viewed from behind. Camera tripods, a projection screen, a whiteboard easel and drums are at the sides. Whether the seated figure is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2010-09-18A photograph of a Yoga Sutras session in a hall with a dark blue curtain backdrop. A green banner reading "Yoga Sutras" hangs above a golden throne-style chair on a raised stage, where a seated figure in a yellow turban, black top and green beaded necklace sits with hands resting, a microphone stand beside them. Vases of flowers and white fans flank the stage. In the foreground, rows of shaved-headed devotees in white and yellow clothing sit facing the stage, many wearing headphones. The seated figure on the throne is a teacher giving the session; the appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone. A yellow fabric hangs at the top left.2010-10-06A large hall with a navy blue backdrop and a banner reading "Yoga Sutra" above a raised stage. A figure in a bright blue robe, wearing a blue turban and a long blue beaded mala, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, flanked by vases of orange flowers. In front of the stage, many seated devotees in white clothes, some in orange or yellow, face the stage on red and pink mats. A video camera on a tripod stands at the right edge. The seated audience is large and mostly visible from behind, so the count is in the 21-100 range. The stage figure is shown in a photo, and the throne figure's appearance cues (blue robe and turban, beaded mala, throne setting) support a probable identification, though the face is too distant to confirm.2010-09-15A seated audience faces a raised stage in a hall with dark blue drapery and a banner reading "Yoga Sutras". A figure in orange-red robes and a red head covering with beaded necklaces sits cross-legged on a large gold armchair, with a vase of red flowers on a side table. Many attendees sit on mats in white and light clothing, some in orange, with their backs to the camera. A standing attendee in white stands beside the stage, and a video camera on a tripod and a whiteboard are visible at the right. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, with orange-red robes, beads and a red head covering, though the face is too small to confirm.2010-09-18September 15 20102010-09-15
