A man seated on the left of the golden throne wears a red-brown turban, a white flower garland and an orange wrap, holding a golden ceremonial staff, and appears to be the central figure. Surrounding him, devotees sit on the floor in white and orange clothing with red-orange shawls; one woman in white holds a brass plate with offerings. Several people in the middle distance wear saffron shawls, and a figure in a red turban and garland sits at the right back near a stage with a laptop and brass lamps. Partially visible heads fill the lower foreground.2015-05-27September 20 20152015-09-20A photograph of a seated devotee gathering in a red-walled hall, centred on a figure in an orange-red robe and orange turban seated on an ornate gold throne with carved gilt panels, a golden staff beside him and warm lamp light. He wears a layered garland and a rudraksha-style necklace and is raising a hand as if speaking. Around the throne, people sit cross-legged on the floor: several men in white dhotis with saffron shawls, a bald man in white with his back to the camera, women in saffron, red and purple saris, and a white-haired woman in a floral kurta. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge, and a camera on a tripod is visible at top left. The description matches the page's Q&A session; the throne figure's cues are an orange turban, saffron-orange robe and ornate adornments.2015-10-26A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion addresses a gathering on a red-carpeted stage, with a microphone on a stand beside him.

Two men in red and white dhotis sit on the floor to his left, one with an orange shawl and white dhoti, and women in white and cream saris sit on the right with hands pressed together in applause. Behind the throne is a copper-toned wall with carved floral and animal relief panels and a decorative fringed canopy overhead.2016-04-17
