In the foreground, a large audience in white and light clothing sits with their backs to the camera, facing the speaker.

The scene appears to be a discourse or satsang.2016-04-17A figure seated on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, under a decorative fringed parasol, on a stage backed by carved wooden panels with lattice-work and yellow-lit openings.

Audience members in white and light clothing sit in the foreground, their backs to the camera. A video camera on a tripod is at left, and a large monitor stands at right. A banner with a small printed logo is visible on the stage front.

On a raised stage, a figure in orange-red robes sits on an ornate gold-lit throne beneath a small canopy, with a microphone stand beside them. A crowd of seated people, mostly in white clothing, faces the stage, with a few in orange and blue. Video cameras on tripods and speakers flank the stage. The scene reads as a satsang or darshan programme. A clearly identifiable portrait of the central figure cannot be established from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role only.2016-04-17April 17 20162016-04-17April 17 20162016-04-17April 17 20162016-04-17April 17 20162016-04-17A large outdoor satsang on a red-carpeted stage with a seated figure on an ornate gold throne under a gold canopy. The seated person wears an orange-saffron robe and sits with hands folded, with speakers and a tripod camera nearby. Below, a dense crowd of devotees sits on the floor, mostly in white dhotis and white kurtas with orange or red shawls, with some in orange robes and a few in blue shirts. A standing attendant in white dhoti and shawl stands at the left of the stage near a decorated panel, and another attendant in white stands at the right edge. The seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the a person field is set to unsure.2016-04-21Photograph of a crowded darshan hall with many people standing in the foreground, mostly seen from behind, wearing white, red and dark clothing. On a raised stage, a seated figure in a red and gold ornate throne with a canopy is adorned with a long necklace, wearing a reddish-orange garment. Carved wooden panels with lit lattice windows form the backdrop. Appearance is not sufficient to confirm the identity of the seated figure, so this is recorded as a role of seated speaker on a throne with no appearance-based candidate claim.2016-04-17May 02 20162016-05-02
