A large indoor satsang hall with a crowd of devotees seated on the floor in white clothes and orange-red shawls, many with hands raised to their heads in a shaktipada-style transmission. At the centre, a long-haired figure in an orange-red garment sits on a red and silver throne, surrounded by devotees with their hands on him. Nearby stand a silver trident and a ceremonial staff, and a camera on a tripod films the scene. Behind them a gold-and-red stage with a golden throne-like seat and elephant motifs sits under a red curtain, with a video screen above showing a figure. The personal identity of the seated figure cannot be confirmed from appearance alone; the page attributes the event to a person, so the figure is described as a person candidate who is physically present. Roughly a hundred or more people are visible.

July 02 20172017-07-02A large hall packed with seated devotees dressed in white, many with saffron or orange shawls and sashes, some with raised arms in a collective gesture. At the centre front, a figure with long dark hair in orange-red clothing sits on a red throne-like chair, appearing to lead the gathering. Behind, a gilded golden stage with a red curtain, floral decorations and a deity image is visible, with screens on either side. Red-cushioned chairs with white covers line the foreground, and banners hang on the walls.2017-07-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a large seated gathering in a hall with gold-and-red decorations, a golden shrine with a seated figure at the top left, and a large screen above. A long-haired man in a red-and-brown garment sits on an ornate red-and-silver throne at the centre, with a trident and a ceremonial fan-like object beside him. Many participants in white clothing and red-orange shawls or scarves sit on chairs and floor cushions, most with both arms raised and hands touching their heads in a shaktipada-style gesture. A camera on a tripod is visible at left. The man on the throne has a distinctive long swept-back hairstyle and saffron-toned clothing, a person candidate, though his face is not visible for confirmation. Over a hundred people may be present; the visible count is roughly 50 to 100 partially or fully visible participants.2017-07-02 +1 copiesJuly 02 20172017-07-02 +1 copiesJuly 16 20152015-07-16July 02 20172017-07-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in the centre on a red and silver ornate throne, wearing a rust-red dhoti-style wrap, a gold chain necklace and a red bindi, with long dark hair. He holds a silver trident-topped staff upright in his right hand. Around him, a large crowd in white and saffron-trimmed garments sits with hands clasped behind their heads in a seated ritual posture. A silver staff with a trident finial stands beside the throne, and the hall has pink walls and framed pictures. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a rust-red wrap, cues consistent with the page, but the appearance is only partly distinctive.2017-08-16August 16 20172017-08-16 +1 copiesA large seated group of devotees, many in white kurtas and red-orange shawls, raise both hands to their heads in a shared energy-darshan gesture in a hall with red upholstered chairs. At the centre, a man with long dark hair, a gold necklace and a red-orange wrap sits on an ornate brown throne-style chair, smiling, with a rudraksha-style mala and gold jewellery; the appearance is a probable match for Swamiji in a presiding role. Surrounding people wear white, blue, pink and orange clothing, and a small table with a microphone stands in front of the throne. A watermarked-style copyright line is visible in the lower right, and the archive source line is printed along the bottom edge.2015-07-21Wide view of a large hall during a seated satsang or discourse. In the centre, on a raised stage, a figure sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a red cushion, wearing red and orange robes and a white garland. Gold-panelled thrones flank the central seat, with red drapes, purple floral arrangements, potted plants, a small golden elephant figure and a kalasha-style urn near the stage. Rows of devotees in white clothing and orange-red robes sit on mats facing the stage, some with rudraksha malas and backpacks on the floor. Video cameras on tripods film the stage. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, but identity is uncertain from this distance.2017-07-02 +1 copiesJuly 02 20172017-07-02 +1 copiesJune 30 20172017-06-30
