A wide photograph of a formal satsang in a temple hall with red drapes and a gold-framed stage. On the raised golden dais, a central deity murti with a large golden halo and sun-like rays sits on a lion-armed throne, flanked by two golden shrine cabinets. Seated on the stage rows are several people in saffron, orange and white robes wearing garlands and bead necklaces. Below, a large audience sits on coloured mats facing the stage, many in white clothes and some bare-backed, with a woman in orange kneeling on the central aisle. Camera tripods and gold barrier posts line the aisle.

A figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate white throne with a canopy, beneath red drapes and gilded pillars with carved figures. Rows of devotees sit on the floor facing the stage; many wear white dhotis and orange shawls, with several shaved or long-haired heads visible from behind. Camera tripods and video cameras stand at the sides, and a microphone is placed before the throne. A brown chair stands in front of the stage and small oil lamps sit along the edges. The throne figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but is only moderately distinctive, so the identity remains uncertain.2017-11-07June 23 20172017-06-23November 11 20172017-11-11October 08 20172017-10-08August 25 20172017-08-25August 03 20142014-08-03Photograph of a satsang hall with a central golden ornate throne backed by a red and gold canopy and flanked by two golden gateway-style panels. A man in orange robes, a red-and-gold turban and a gold necklace sits on the throne, speaking into a microphone. Several video cameras on tripods film him. In front, rows of devotees in saffron-orange robes and white turbans sit on the floor, and gold-tipped brass railings separate the stage. Two golden statues stand at the stage edges. The centre figure matches a distinctive presentation with turban, saffron robes and ornate gold necklace, so he is a probable Swamiji seated on the peetha giving a discourse, with devotees seated before him.2017-09-16 +1 copiesA large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a hall facing a lit altar decorated with golden and red drapery and strings of lights. At the centre of the altar, a seated figure in orange robes is flanked by ornate golden deity murti and a bull statue. Many men in white dhoti and shawls, some bare-chested with sacred threads, sit in rows, with others in orange and red garments. Camera operators on tripods film the proceedings, and a screen above the altar shows a picture. Near the right wall, a large decorated kalasha or shrine piece stands beside a seated devotee. The scene suggests a satsang or puja in an ashram hall.2017-12-02June 06 20162016-06-06
