A seated figure on a gold-and-red ornate throne wears an orange-red turban, a multicoloured floral garland of orange, green, white and red blooms, and orange-saffron robes, with a red tiger-striped cushion beside them. Their right arm extends toward a kneeling woman in a white blouse and an orange shawl, who holds a small yellow card and a brass plate; she smiles and bows her head. Behind them, women in white saris with orange and red shawls and a crowd of seated devotees fill the dim evening courtyard. A banana-leaf decoration and a striped orange-and-cream banner hang on a red pole. A brass kalasha-like vessel sits near the throne.

The seated man sits on a red velvet throne with gold ornamentation beside a silver trident-topped staff with a bird finial. Behind them are green plants, red draped cloth and garlands. A woman in a cream sari with a brown mala stands at right, holding a sheet of paper. This appears to be a blessing moment during a satsang setting. The seated man appears to be a person, based on his saffron-brown robes, long mala and seated throne position.2015-04-26July 17 20082008-07-17May 01 20162016-05-01June 12 20142014-06-12A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white vertical tilak on the forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne decorated with gold lion heads, wearing long white and red flower garlands and a multi-strand rudraksha mala.

Behind them a woman in a saffron sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right, another figure sits in white, and a pillar, air conditioner and a standing fan appear in the room. The seated figure wears distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha adornments on the throne, which matches the a person appearance cues.2014-09-21A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a red and white flower garland, gold necklace and gold bangles, with his bare feet resting on the throne's gold base. Before him on a gold tray are brass plates of offerings, flower petals, and small oil lamps. A kneeling man in white clothes with a red sash and rudraksha mala and a kneeling woman in orange sari with flowers in her hair attend the offering. Behind them, a shaven-headed attendant in orange and maroon robes with a rudraksha mala kneels. Two framed portraits hang on a dark wall: one of a smiling man in an orange turban, the other of a man in orange robes seated in meditation, with a wall air conditioner above. Brass bells and a hanging lamp are visible at upper right. The setting resembles a padapuja ritual. Swamiji appears as a probable candidate on the throne, identifiable by long hair, a gold necklace, saffron clothing and a garland.2013-07-19August 09 20152015-08-09A photograph inside a gilded interior with a black wall, brass hanging bells and an air conditioner.
