On stage stand decorated deity murtis and ornate golden arches, with a large screen on the right showing a seated figure in orange robes with a red turban, rudraksha mala and a trident beside him. Chandelier lights hang from the ceiling and a tall decorated pillar stands at the left edge. Printed copyright text appears across the lower right of the image.2015-10-14August 14 20172017-08-14A hall with rows of tables draped in red cloths and white chair covers. On a large screen at left, a man in a red and orange turban, white ceremonial garment and gold-and-orange beaded necklaces smiles and raises a hand; this screen image is a depiction and may be Swamiji (probable) by his turban and ornate neckwear. A framed portrait on the right wall shows a figure in orange with garlands seated in meditation. In the centre, a standing man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border holds a phone, and a woman in orange sits at a table at right. Several other attendees in orange and white sit at tables.2017-06-21A large indoor hall filled with a seated and standing crowd, many clapping with palms together and some with arms raised. A large LED screen at upper left shows a standing figure in red ceremonial robes with a rudraksha-style garland, holding a trident-like staff, before a golden arched backdrop with flowers and a mountain and temple motif behind. On the left, a man in a saffron-orange robe stands near the screen, and a bald man in white with a garland and white shirt sits near the centre-right. A child in the foreground wears a white shirt. The scene suggests a darshan gathering, with the screen showing a deity murti-like figure rather than a living person.2015-05-07A crowded indoor satsang hall with deep red drapes behind a golden throne. A seated man in a maroon turban and saffron-orange garment, with a pink and white flower garland, sits on the gold throne beneath a large painted banner of a multi-armed goddess holding a trident-like staff. Around him, many people in white dhotis and white kurtas, some with gold-bordered shawls and red waist cloths, move and gesture in the foreground, some blurred in motion. A gold trident stands at the left and a camera rig is visible at the right edge.2016-09-16December 21 20102010-12-21December 12 20162016-12-12December 21 20102010-12-21A hall darshan session seen from behind rows of seated audience members in white garments, facing a large projection screen. On the screen a smiling man with a dark turban-style headwrap and a red tilak on his forehead fills the frame, with a dark beard. Foreground audience heads and white chairs fill the lower half. Red and orange silk drapes and hanging decorative tassels frame the stage above. Brass ritual items sit at the right edge near the stage, and cameras on tripods stand at the sides. The screen image is a depiction of a person on screen, not a physical presence on stage; the appearance cues are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.2018-12-26
