Outdoor evening gathering on an orange-draped platform. A man seated on a zebra-striped cushioned chair wears a red and orange garment with a gold necklace and holds a microphone, addressing the crowd; his feet are in orange sandals on the platform. Behind him a young man in white ritual dhoti and shawl with rudraksha malas holds an orange umbrella over him, and a small brass kalasha-style vase with orange flowers sits on a gold-cloth table. Left, a woman in an orange sari with a red blouse stands with hands folded, and several men in white dhotis and bare upper bodies stand nearby. Onlookers in western and casual clothing, including a woman in pink, stand behind a white railing with concrete buildings in the background.

A bare-footed man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a red-orange robe, a red-orange wrap, a red bindi and a flower garland, sits on a zebra-striped cushioned seat under a red canopy; the appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable) as the presiding figure, a seated speaker with distinctive hair, saffron-red clothing and garland. Ornate silver trishula standards stand on either side of him and a vase of red and orange flowers sits beside him. Red patterned mats lie at his feet with red footstool-style cushions. A man in white dhoti and shawl sits bare-chested at right beside a small table with a framed photograph and floral cloth. A row of seated devotees, including women in pink and dark saris and children, watches from the left, some holding trishula-shaped items.2010-12-22A seated man in an orange-saffron robe holds a black microphone and speaks to an audience on the bank of a water body, sitting on an orange-covered cushioned seat on a colourful striped and patterned mat. Above him hangs a multicoloured fringed canopy. Around him, participants in white clothes and rudraksha malas sit on mats, one holding a small plate of offerings, and a man in a grey t-shirt with a yellow lanyard and beads sits to the right. A water bottle and small offering plates rest on the mats in front. Appearance-based cues on the central figure (saffron robe, microphone-led discourse) are consistent with a person presenting a session, though the face is not identifiable from the image.2009-07-01
