Empty stage set for a press meet or discourse at an ashram hall. Two cream and tan upholstered armchairs with ornate dark wood trim stand with microphones on stands before them, one chair with an orange cloth draped over its arm and a small orange cushion. Orange and yellow flower arrangements sit on a side table and on a white-draped table with a patterned red rug. Blue and maroon curtains frame the back wall, with a ceiling fan and a standing fan visible. A single person in light clothing is partly visible in the rear doorway, and a projection screen hangs at the right edge.

Photo of an empty stage set up for an event. A central tan upholstered throne-style chair with carved dark wood back and a tan cushion sits behind a white draped table decorated with yellow and red flowers. Two cream armchairs with matching footstools flank it, with microphones on stands, electric fans, and a laptop on a small wooden side table at right. A red and beige patterned rug covers the floor, and a dark blue curtain forms the backdrop under stage lights. A partially visible head appears at the bottom edge. The seats are unoccupied, and no one is on stage.2011-02-01August 15 20102010-08-15June 22 20082008-06-22June 20 20092009-06-20An empty cream-upholstered throne chair stands on a patterned red and blue rug on a stage before dark maroon drapery.

A rudraksha mala hangs over the chest and an orange cushion rests beside him. A small orange footstool and red patterned rug sit in front, a microphone stand stands to the right, a white pedestal fan and water bottle are at left, and a deep red velvet curtain forms the backdrop. The figure is a person by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-toned ceremonial clothing, though identity is inferred from appearance only. Only one person is present.2010-12-04A photograph of an empty ceremonial seat on a raised stage draped with a patterned carpet.

The central throne holds a golden statue of a seated figure wearing a yellow-and-white turban and a rudraksha-like gold necklace, while the left throne holds a smaller golden statue of a seated figure with a tall crown. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a backdrop of white curtain with draped red, green, brown and teal fabric swags frames the stage. No living people are visible.2010-12-26A photograph of a stage set for a discourse. A single seated figure sits on a golden upholstered throne-style armchair with dark carved wooden arms, wearing an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair, one hand extended outward mid-speech. A small footstool with a red cushion sits below. Flanking the chair are two side tables with flower arrangements in red and orange, and a microphone stand is positioned nearby. A dark blue draped curtain forms the backdrop, with two white pillar-style speakers on orange bases at either side of a glossy raised platform. The figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by the long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala while seated in the throne-style chair. Only one person is visible.2010-09-03
