Empty stage inside a hall set up for satsang. Three ornate red and gold thrones with flower garlands stand on a white marble platform: the central throne is empty, and framed portraits sit on the two side thrones. Behind, a multicoloured canopy hung with garlands is topped by painted deity murtis. A black banner with yellow logo and Tamil lettering is mounted on the wall. A man in white sits at the left edge, and a small cloth-covered seat and offerings of fruit lie before the throne. Fans hang from the ceiling and flower petals are scattered on the floor.

To the right stands a red-draped altar with decorated deity murti, one blue-skinned figure holding a trident and wearing a red turban, both adorned with multicolour flower garlands. Brass oil lamps sit beside the throne, a painted backdrop of pillars and a standing deity figure with a fan appears behind, and a small tablet device rests on a carpet in the foreground.

A seated figure in orange-red garments with a rudraksha mala sits on a gilded throne with cushions, flanked by floral garlands. To the left and right are other ornate thrones and deity murti figures draped in garlands, with a gold-trimmed peetha and a figure in yellow with a vahana-style animal at right. The figure on the central throne matches the presentation the page describes, with long hair and a rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji identification based on those cues; the ceremonial setting and garlanded thrones are visible.2013-12-25
