A photograph of a satsang in an ashram hall. A figure in orange robes with a long dark braid and orange and rudraksha beads sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions, with a brown wooden carved box beside it. Facing him, several devotees sit on an orange and red floor covering: a bald man and another in white dhotis with maroon-bordered shawls play a bell and microphone, a woman in green, a woman in white with a long braid, and women in yellow and white saris stand by a brass tray of offerings. Behind the throne is a large printed backdrop of a deity shrine with columns and garlands. The figure on the throne appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the orange robes, long hair and rudraksha beads.

A stage event in a large hall. A man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at centre, with a garlanded deity backdrop behind him. In front of the stage, about ten people in white and yellow saris and white dhotis sit on an orange mat, some holding books or small items, while a young priest in white with a shaved head and horizontal tilak on the left speaks into a microphone. A large orange-draped table and a potted decoration sit at the right of the stage. The seated figure in orange could be a person, wearing saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a sitting-throne position, though his face is too small to confirm; the other figures are devotees and priests.2010-10-23 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26A satsang or puja gathering in a hall with a gold ornate throne on the left.
