A photograph of a stage set for a convention, with a seated figure on a decorated throne at the centre. The throne is framed by a leafy tree branch draped above it, golden and silver ornamental panels, and a white and red cushioned dais with a flower garland on top. The seated figure wears white and gold clothing and a garland, and is not clearly identifiable from appearance. Flanking the throne are two arched gold-and-green canopies with large printed portraits of a long-haired man in saffron-toned clothing. Red carpet covers the floor, a white cloth runs down the centre, and two standing fans sit at the sides. No other people are visible.

At centre, a man in white ritual clothing with a white turban and a flower garland sits on an ornate cushioned throne-like chair with red and gold upholstery, holding objects in his hands. Behind him a large leafy tree branch arrangement with green foliage rises over a golden backdrop trimmed with marigold-style flower strings. Flanking the throne are two tall arched panels with floral and red chevron decoration, each holding a printed portrait of a long-haired man in saffron-coloured robes with a rudraksha-style necklace. Flower petals are scattered on the platform in front, and two pedestal fans stand on the stage. The rest of the room is bare, with ceiling fans overhead.2006-07-30Hazy photograph of an indoor stage decorated with pale yellow and white floral-patterned panels and arched canopies in a hall with a red floor. Centre stage a leafy potted tree rises, flanked on the left by a large framed portrait of a long-haired figure in red and blue, and on the right by a tall shrine-like frame. A seated figure in white and ornate clothing sits on a flower-strewn white and red throne at the right of centre, with a standing fan nearby. A deity-style backdrop with dark figures appears behind the tree. No people are clearly visible in the hall.2006-07-30December 15 20072007-12-15A seated figure sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests on a red-draped stage. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a saffron turban-style headwear, and a saffron-and-white garland of flowers around his neck. Behind him is a large painted backdrop of a banyan tree with green foliage and hanging aerial roots against a golden sunset sky. Tall gilded pillars and brass oil lamps flank the throne, and white barriers line the front of the stage. The scene is a public discourse setting; the seated figure appears to be a sannyasi or priest rather than a clearly identifiable individual, so no identity is claimed from appearance.2015-09-30 +1 copiesDecember 30 20142014-12-30December 24 20092009-12-24 +1 copiesJuly 11 20062006-07-11A decorated indoor stage hall set for a satsang, with a seated man in orange and red clothing and a rudraksha mala on a gold-and-red throne (peetha) at centre, flanked by two life-size lion figures and two standing attendant figures holding lamps.
