Indoor satsang or darshan scene. A figure seated on a red cushioned seat, shown from behind-left, wears a rust-orange robe, a leopard-print waist cloth, a white jasmine garland and a beaded mala, and extends a hand to offer small items to a line of devotees. A young boy in a red polo shirt reaches forward with cupped hands, a woman in a blue top and a man in a white shirt with an orange-beaded shawl sit nearby holding similar items, and a woman in a white top with an orange shawl and a woman in a red sari stand behind. Behind them, draped colourful cloth and standing figures in gold and red costumes suggest a temple or decorated hall with a ceiling fan.

Behind them stands a golden lion-figured throne draped with purple cloth and floral garlands. Two women in white saris and a child stand in the background near a red carpeted hall with a floor fan. The seated man presents as a person by his turban, ornate gold adornments and red-gold clothing, while the bowing devotee receives his blessing.2014-04-13A photograph of a seated man in a red-orange robe and a shawl with a black-and-white tiger-stripe pattern, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold-toned ceremonial chain. He has a white and red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair, seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. He extends a small yellow object. A shaved-headed person in orange beads is partly visible in the foreground at lower left, and a woman in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge. The setting has deep red drapes behind the throne. Appearance cues are consistent with Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-toned robes, seated on a throne, in a satsang-style setting.2014-06-02May 31 20142014-05-31September 21 20142014-09-21June 06 20142014-06-06October 29 20142014-10-29A seated figure on the left wears a red-maroon shawl, a white floral garland with blue and gold beads, rudraksha beads on the arm and a white forehead mark, and holds out a sheet of paper. Beside them a woman in an orange sari and rudraksha mala stands, and to the right a bent-over devotee in a red sari receives the paper while a man in a white shirt with a blue lanyard stands in the foreground. Several women in pink and blue saris stand in the background with hands joined in namaste, and a small girl in pink watches. A gold-coloured seat or throne is partly visible. The figure seated on the left has long, swept-back hair and distinctive garlanded, saffron-toned ceremonial attire, so the appearance is a person candidate in person, presiding over a paper-handover moment.2014-04-27A seated man with a shaved-head white forehead marking wears a rust-red garment, a white and yellow flower garland strung with rudraksha beads, and a bead bracelet on his upper arm, extending his hand to receive a folded white paper from a man in a white shirt with a blue lanyard who bends forward. Behind them a woman in a long orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands smiling, and women in pink and floral saris stand with their hands joined in the background. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown-less ornate setting, and his appearance includes distinctive rudraksha and garland cues, so this is a person receiving a petition or paper during a satsang-style gathering.2014-04-27A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, bare-shouldered in a rust-red wrap over a leopard-print lower garment, wears a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and holds a white paper while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. Behind them, a woman in white with an orange-brown rudraksha mala watches, and a younger woman in white with a purple shawl stands at right. Deep maroon drapery hangs behind. This matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha mala, ornate gold necklace and rust-red wrap, performing a blessing or initiation on a devotee.
