Wide view of a stage at a Yoga Sutras session. 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.2010-09-18Glimpses From Yoga Sutras2010-10-11 +1 copiesSeptember 16 20102010-09-16 +1 copiesA seated teacher sits on a golden throne with red cushions on a raised stage, wearing a blue robe and a white head covering.

On a raised gold-and-red throne at the centre, a figure in yellow robes sits with a microphone on a red-draped lectern before him, flanked by vases of orange flowers. Above him a green banner reads Yoga Sutras against a blue curtain. Audience members sit cross-legged on the floor and rows of chairs fill the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the throne-seated figure in yellow robes and long hair matches the appearance cues of the page's subject, presented here as a teacher on a throne rather than identified by face.2010-09-14August 01 20102010-08-01A 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 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.2010-09-18A dim hall with a dark draped backdrop and a stage set with a golden armchair, a small flower arrangement on a side table, and two white pillar lamps on orange bases.

On the armchair sits a figure wearing a saffron-coloured head covering, a gold beaded necklace and dark robes, appearing as a seated teacher. In front, a large audience of mostly shaved-headed men in white clothes sits cross-legged on the floor, some wearing saffron or yellow shawls.
