May 23 20052005-05-23 +1 copiesA seated speaker in an orange and gold garment with a white wrap and a long beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold chair before a shimmering gold and orange backdrop with colourful bunting. He speaks into a microphone while flower vases stand beside him and a small deity murti sits on a white-draped table. Ornate decorated umbrellas frame the stage. Around 25 seated listeners in white clothes, saris and shawls face the stage in a concrete room. The speaker appears to be a person by appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron-gold clothing and ceremonial beads, but this is uncertain.2005-05-23May 23 20052005-05-23 +1 copiesMay 25 20052005-05-25A satsang hall with a large crowd of devotees seated on the floor facing a raised stage. Many women wear white saris and white garments with flower garlands, while some men and monastics wear saffron-orange robes. On a golden ornate throne at the front of the stage, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes gives a discourse, with a red-and-gold cushioned dais beneath. The stage is decorated with marigold and green leaf garlands, hanging tassels, and colourful vertical banners, with a fan, microphone and stage lights nearby. A cameraman stands at the left side of the hall.2009-06-09A seated man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a raised cushioned seat before an orange-gold draped backdrop embroidered with mirror-like sparkles. He wears a white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. A microphone stand stands in front, and a painted panel above him shows a shivalinga flanked by animal figures. Two flower vases with pink lilies and roses stand to either side, with ornate fabric banners hanging from poles. A small deity murti sits on a white-draped table at left. Seven or so seated listeners in the foreground, mostly seen from behind, face the speaker. Swamiji (probable) appears in appearance-based identification from the long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace.2005-05-23 +1 copiesOctober 29 20062006-10-29May 23 20052005-05-23 +1 copiesA photograph of an indoor satsang hall with a stone-walled, low-ceilinged room.
